Israel Justifies Military Action Against Houthis Through Biblical References

Israel’s defense minister issued a stern warning to Yemen’s Houthi rebels, cautioning them about the possibility of facing the biblical ’10 plagues of Egypt’ following a series of intensified missile strikes aimed at Israeli locations. The Iran-backed group’s move came in response to Israeli military actions that resulted in the death of senior Houthi leaders, including an alleged strike on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Since the recent conflict in Gaza, the Houthis have escalated their attacks on Israel and vessels in the Red Sea as a show of ‘solidarity’ with the Palestinian cause.
