Netanyahu: bomb attacks on Yemen are “just the beginning” | BBC News

Israel has carried out a series of airstrikes in Yemen, hitting targets including the international airport in the capital, Sanaa, where people ran for cover.  

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the raids were part of a campaign of retaliation - which was only just starting - for recent strikes on Israel by Yemen's Houthi fighters, who are backed by Iran.
 
It's reported that at least two people were killed at the international airport.   The port of Hudayda was also hit - along with other sites described by Israel as "military targets".

They saw what happened to Gaza and Lebanon but still firing missiles to Israel

[sami...b-sh]

When they Fire missile to Israel they feel proud, but when Israel fired back they immediately become the victim begging for help.

[Mr.Clarifier]

The Houthis are sending a friendly "hello" to Israel, so Israel is reciprocating by creating thousands of new construction jobs in Yemen.

[hankjones]

Here comes the "solidarity" they wanted.

[jaydibernardo]

Would the Houthis be interested in buying some pagers?

[oraschannel]

The strike is barbaric and against the Yemeni people? But you think your missiles agains Israel is no different ??? Cry babies

[ronnywibisono]

Now the zombie protesters will start carrying Houthi and Yemeni flags at every protest they take.

[clearedhot]

Israel had no reason or desire to go anywhere near Yemen. However, for some strange reason, the Houthis invited them. The Houthis have been trying to get their attention for over a year. Now they have it, but it won't end well for them. By the way, Houthi Leaders, you now have the most dangerous job in the world....life

[stevenboyce]

The old saying..."F around and Find out"

[Mr.Clarifier]

The IDF is helping the Yemeni economy: it's creating a construction boom.

[KronosSaturn]

What?Yemen complained when they were the ones who started it...

[timothybanda]

These fools are saying it’s barbaric ? 😂

[modunshimk]

Houthis thought that they're 2000 km away from Israel.

[Oyelakin]

When the war you called for comes around, don't complain. Houthis forcibly demanded it

[peeweebernabe]

when israel retaliate they will say its barbaric...lol

[ponnambiliaravindsreenivas]

Houthi should not have unnecessarily attacked Israel in the first place

[Alana-Levy]

The Houthis are extending a cordial "hello" to Israel, and Israel is responding by providing thousands of new construction jobs in Yemen.

[parlaxbonife]

The Houthis will cry 😢 in the media calling it Genocide. 😂 😂

[jerem]

If Hutis were investing in their population's welfare instead of attacking Israël.. there would be no need to have WHO in Huti area and no airport bombing.. just saying
