Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations (UN), Danny Danon, has issued a "final warning" to the Houthis in Yemen due to their ongoing airstrikes. Jerusalem threatens the militants with a fate similar to that of Hamas and Hezbollah, reports Reuters.
According to an Israeli Foreign Ministry representative, speaking before the UN Security Council, Israel will not tolerate attacks from Iran-backed groups.
Ambassador Danny Danon warned Tehran that Israel has the capability to strike any target in the Middle East, including Iran.
“To the Houthis, perhaps you have not been paying attention to what has happened to the Middle East over the past year. Well, allow me to remind you what has happened to Hamas, to Hezbollah, to Assad, to all those who have attempted to destroy us. Let this be your final warning,” Danon said.
The Israeli diplomat added that this is not a threat, adding, "It is a promise. You will share the same miserable fate."
Before the Security Council session, Danon told journalists that Israel would "defend its people."
“If 2,000 kilometers is not enough to separate our children from the terror, let me assure you, it will not be enough to protect their terror from our strengths,” the diplomat declared.
Houthi strikes and Israeli operations against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Assad forces
It is also worth noting that just hours after this statement, the Israel Defense Forces reported another interception of a missile launched from Yemen.
Furthermore, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, head of Yemen's Houthi supreme revolutionary committee, stated in a Twitter (X) post that the group would not stop its attacks on Israel.
Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Houthis after a series of strikes on Houthi-linked targets in Yemen. He stated that the country "is just getting started." This refers to the IDF’s strikes on targets around Sana’a airport, ports on Yemen’s western coast, and two power plants.
Notably, the Israeli military and intelligence services are systematically eliminating top leaders of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and fighters from the Lebanese group Hezbollah. They are also destroying military infrastructure in Syria, including after the fall of Assad’s regime.
