Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will not only respond to the Houthis but also to their Iranian backers, indicating a readiness for a strike &#8220;at a time and place of our choosing.&#8221; Defense Minister Israel Katz hinted at a &#8220;sevenfold&#8221; counterattack. In reaction, Iran threatened that any Israeli attack would be met with a strong response, potentially including targeting U.S. military bases in the region.
