"This morning, the Houthis launched a surface-to-surface missile from Yemen at our territory," Netanyahu said before a cabinet meeting. "They should know that we exact a high price for any attempt to attack us."

"Whoever needs a reminder of this, is invited to visit the port of Hodeidah," the prime minister added, referring to Israel's bombing of the strategic Yemeni port in July after a Houthi drone strike killed one person in Tel Aviv.

"Whoever attacks us will not evade our strike," Netanyahu said.
