Defense Minister Israel Katz has acknowledged that Israel killed former Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this year, as he warned the military would "decapitate" the leadership of Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

The US military conducted airstrikes on Houthi-controlled missile storage and command sites in Sanaa, Yemen, aiming to curb rebel operations. This move follows heightened tensions with Israel and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and Tel Aviv.

“When the Houthis fire missiles at Israel, we will target their strategic infrastructure and eliminate their leadership – just as we did with Haniyeh, Sinwar, and Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza, and Lebanon. The same will be done in Hodeidah and Sanaa.”

The Israeli Defence Minister also threatened to take similar action against the leadership of the Houthi rebel group in Yemen. Katz also warned that the Houthis would meet a similar fate. The warning against the Houthis came as the Iran-backed outfit has launched scores of missiles and drones at Israel throughout the war.
