The strikes came a day after the rebels launched a missile that hit Israel’s main airport.
The rebels’ media office said at least six strikes hit the crucial Hodeida port Monday afternoon.
Other strikes hit a cement factory in the Bajil district, located 55 kilometres northeast of Hodeida city, the rebels said.
The extent of damage at the two facilities wasn’t immediately clear.
The Israeli military said more than 20 Israeli fighter planes took part in the operation, dropping more than 50 munitions on dozens of targets.
Hodeida residents said they heard explosions at the port, with flames and smoke seen rising over the area. Ambulance sirens were also heard across the city, they said.
In Bajil, fires and thick columns of smoke were seen over the cement factory, which the Houthis said was hit by both US and Israeli strikes.
The Houthi-run health ministry said at least one person was killed and 35 others were wounded in the Israeli strikes on the factory. It said rescuers were still searching for missing people.
On Sunday, the Houthis launched a missile from Yemen that struck an access road near Israel’s main airport, briefly halting flights and commuter traffic. Four people were lightly injured. It was the first time a missile struck the grounds of Israel’s airport since the start of the war.
The Houthis claimed that the strikes were a joint Israeli-American operation. However, a US defence official said US forces did not participate in the Israeli strikes on Yemen on Monday. (AP)
