Dr. Eli David @DrEliDavid Hi Yemeni 🇾🇪 Houthis 👋 How stupid can you be? You saw what Israel 🇮🇱 did to Hezbollah in Lebanon. You should remain silent and play dead... This is certainly not the time to fire a ballistic missiles on Tel Aviv! This is what you get you idiots 👇
The Israeli army carried out massive strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Sunday. According to Tel Aviv, the targets of the bombings were power stations and port facilities in the city of Hodeidah.
Houthi media reported that at least four people were killed and 33 others wounded in the attacks.
Speaking to military personnel in Tel Aviv, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallad said the strikes were "impressive".
"We are not interested in expanding the war, we are not interested in seeking additional fronts, but if someone attacks Israel, as the Houthis have done recently with missiles and throughout the war with cruise missiles and drones, whoever carries out a such an attack we will settle the score with him and we know how to do it," he said.
In a statement, the Houthis said they had taken precautionary measures and that Israel's strikes would not stop their attacks on shipping lanes and Israel.
The Houthis launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel's Ben Gurion Airport on Saturday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was arriving on a flight from the United States.
The group has also since November regularly targeted shipping in the Red Sea that it believes has links to Israel, although many of the ships targeted and hit have no connection to that country.
The Houthi media office said the Israeli strikes also hit the port of Rass Issa as well as two power plants in Hodeidah, which is a stronghold of the Iran-backed rebels.
"Whoever harms or tries to harm the citizens of the State of Israel, we will get to him. In the simplest way and we will put every measure we need with every possibility we have, and we have many more possibilities to deepen and expand the strike," said Lt. Gen. Tom Barr, commander of the Israeli Air Force.
Lebanon: Three leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine dead
In Lebanon, the Palestinian organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said three of its leaders were killed in an Israeli attack in downtown Beirut early Monday.
This is the first time that the Israeli army has struck the center of the Lebanese capital since 2006.
Also at least 24 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes that hit two neighboring buildings near the southern city of Sidon.
The successive strikes on Sunday hit the Ain el-Delb area with the Lebanese health ministry saying at least 29 people were injured.
Israeli airstrikes intensified in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa region on Sunday, with local media reporting continuous airstrikes throughout the day.
Lebanon's caretaker prime minister Najib Mikati said the country's cash-strapped government was struggling to cope with the growing number of displaced people, which he said could be "up to a million people".
"There are 772 shelters, where 118,000 people are taking shelter since the day before yesterday. Those 118,000 are meeting their basic needs. From shelter, livelihood and food and everything. But the number of displaced people is estimated to be much higher than that number," he said.
Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire almost daily since the war in Gaza began in October, displacing tens of thousands of people on both sides of the border.
And the blows deeper into Lebanon have intensified in the past week, particularly after the assassination on Friday of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a southern suburb of the capital Beirut.
Speaking to reporters on his flight back to Italy from Belgium, Pope Francis hinted that Israel's attacks on Gaza and Lebanon were "immoral" and disproportionate, saying its military rule had exceeded the rules of war.
Francis did not mention Israel by name and said he was speaking in general terms, but said "the defense must always be proportional to the attack."
"When there is something out of proportion you can see a tendency of domination that goes beyond morality. A country that by its power does these things - any country I mean
