Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Friday said that Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Houthis militia in Yemen, and his government would be sent to “the depths of hell.”
Katz wrote this on X following the launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle on Thursday that exploded in the courtyard of a hotel in the southern Israeli resort city of Eilat.
Israel has repeatedly struck Houthi targets in Yemen following rocket and drone launches from there.
“Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, your time will come,” Katz wrote, adding that he and his subordinates will meet “all the envoys of the Axis of Evil who are waiting in the depths of hell.”
The slogan “Death to Israel, curse upon the Jews,” written on the Houthi flag, Katz added, “will be replaced by the blue-and-white Israeli flag that will fly in the capital of united Yemen.”
