(Bloomberg) -- Israel will act “forcefully” against the Houthis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, a day after a missile fired from Yemen struck Tel Aviv. 

“As we acted forcefully against the terrorist arms of Iran’s evil axis, so we will act against the Houthis,” Netanyahu said, speaking in a video message. “Only in this case, we are not acting alone. The US, and other countries, see the Houthis as a threat not only to international shipping — to the international order.”

He called on Israeli citizens to be patient, saying that it may “take time.”
