Israel has threatened to target the leadership of Yemen’s Houthi rebels after the air force struck two rebel-held ports yesterday, AFP reports.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Houthi leadership that there was “more to come” after yesterday’s strikes.

“We are not willing to sit on the sidelines and let the Houthis attack us.We will hit them far more, including their leadership and all the infrastructure that allows them to hit us,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
