ISRAEL stepped up its blitz of Yemen’s Houthi rebels yesterday as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned: “We’re just getting started on them.”
The strongman told the terror group they would soon suffer the fate of Iran-backed allies in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria if they continued to attack the Jewish nation.

Targets yesterday included Sanaa International Airport and the nearby Hezyaz power plant.
Terror bases in Hodeida, Salif and Ras Qantib ports were also targeted.
Footage showed buildings at the Ras Kutaib power station in Hodeida consumed by flames after waves of air strikes.
Netanyahu said: “We’re just getting started with them.
“We won’t allow them to attack Israel these days, today and any other day.
“We will strike them to the bitter end until they learn.”
“Hamas learned, Hezbollah learned, and Syria learned. The Houthis will learn too.”
A missile launched from Yemen — which is 1,000 miles away from Israel — was intercepted during the raids.
The Iran-backed Houthis have been launching missile attacks since the beginning of the war in Gaza.
