Israel threatens Houthis with “Biblical Plagues” after missile strikes from Yemen

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has vowed to unleash the “Biblical Ten Plagues of Egypt” on Yemen’s Houthis after they intensified their missile attacks on Israel.

Katz made the statement on his X (formerly Twitter) page, Caliber.Az reports.

החות'ים שוב ירו טילים לעבר ישראל.

מכת חושך, מכת בכורות - נשלים את כל עשר המכות.

— ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz (@Israel_katz) September 4, 2025

“The Houthis are launching rockets at Israel again. The plague of darkness, the plague of the firstborn — we will complete all ten plagues,” Katz wrote.

He was referring to the ten plagues described in the Book of Exodus, which God inflicted on Egypt to persuade Pharaoh to free the enslaved Israelites.

Earlier on September 4, the Israeli army reported that a missile launched from Yemen fell outside Israeli territory, marking the third attempt to strike Israel from Yemen in the past 24 hours.
