Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said his country aimed to send a message to the group.

"The fire that is currently burning in Hodeidah, is seen across the Middle East and the significance is clear," he said. Houthi official Mohammed Abdulsalam reported a "brutal Israel aggression against Yemen".

He said the strikes were aimed at pressuring the Houthis to stop supporting the Palestinians in Gaza, something he said would not happen.

It is the first time Israel has responded directly to what it says have been hundreds of Yemeni drone and missile attacks aimed at its territory in recent months.

The strikes hit the Houthi-controlled Red Sea port of Hodeidah on Saturday evening.
