Israel Katz: 'Israeli Flag Will Fly Above Capital of Yemen'

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to assassinate Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi and raise Israel's flag over Sanaa after 87 missiles and 40 drones targeted Israel since March 2025.

  • On August 28, an Israeli airstrike in Sanaa targeted the Houthi leadership, killing their prime minister, Ahmed Ghalib al-Rahawi, along with at least 11 other government officials, heightening existing tensions.
  • The strike followed ongoing Iranian-backed Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory, part of a campaign since March 18 involving 87 missiles and 40 drones.
  • Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz responded with threats to assassinate Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi and to fly Israel's flag over the Yemeni capital Sanaa.
  • Katz warned that the Houthi leader’s moment of reckoning is approaching and vowed that he would join those defeated members of the so-called "axis of evil" who are condemned to suffer in the afterlife.
  • The exchange highlights heightened hostilities, with Houthi forces continuing missile strikes and naval operations while Israel intensifies military actions against Houthi targets.
