Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said that the strikes on several targets in Yemen were a “sharp message” to the leaders of the Houthi rebel group, whom he said Israel “will hunt down”, AFP reports.

“The Israeli strike today in Yemen sends a clear and sharp message to the leader of the Houthi terror organisation, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, and the leaders of the Houthi terror organisation in Yemen: there will be no immunity for anyone,” he said in a video statement, adding that Israel “will hunt them down”.
