Netanayahu says Houthis will pay ‘high price’ for missile attack

The Iranian-backed Houthis launched a long-range missile attack against Israel yesterday.

A Houthi spokesman said the terror group fired “a new hypersonic missile” toward a target in Jaffa, a city near Tel Aviv. The rocket traveled over 1,200 miles before exploding in the air, according to the IDF, which said it was unable to intercept the missile before it entered Israeli airspace. According to Axios, it is the longest-range missile to ever hit Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Houthis will pay a “high price” for the attempted attack.
