Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Houthis on Thursday that they “will pay a heavy price” after Israel launched strikes in Yemen in response to a missile attack from the armed group.“After Hamas, Hezbollah, and the (Bashar al-) Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran’s axis of evil,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “The Houthis are learning and will learn the hard way, that those who strike Israel will pay a very heavy price for it.”Earlier on Thursday, Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed that Israel’s “long hand” will reach the leaders of Yemen’s Houthi movement.The Israeli airstrikes killed nine people, said Al Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by the Iran-aligned Houthis, who control much of the country, seven in the port of Salif and two in the Ras Issa oil facility, both located in the western province of Hodeidah.The strikes also targeted two central power stations south and north of the capital, Sanaa, it
