Yemen’s Houthis said on Saturday they are prepared for a long war with Israel, hours after Israeli jets struck at the militia-controlled coastal city of Hodeidah in the west of the war-ravaged country. Houthi military spokesman Yehya Saree said the group would response to “this blatant aggression” and would not hesitate to strike at vital targets in Israel. “The armed forces will not stop their operations supporting our brothers in Gaza whatever the consequences, and with God’s support are preparing themselves for a long war with this enemy,” he added in a televised statement.
