Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has vowed that Yemen’s Houthis will pay a “heavy price” after the Iran-backed terrorist organization fired a ballistic missile into central Israel on Sunday morning.

JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman and Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten discuss what sets this attack apart from previous ones, as well as the wider implications for the region.

Other top stories include Israel destroying a top-secret Iranian weapons facility in Syria; further escalation in the north; and the potential end of major military operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
