The Israeli strikes appeared to be the first on Yemeni soil since the war began in October, and they threatened to open a new front in the region as Israel battles proxies of Iran.
The Israeli army said on Saturday it has struck several Houthi targets in western Yemen following a fatal drone attack by the rebel group in Tel Aviv the previous day.
“The Houthis attacked us over 200 times. The first time that they harmed an Israeli citizen, we struck them. And we will do this in any place where it may be required,” Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said in a statement. Abdulsalam said the attacks will only make the people of Yemen and its armed forces more determined to support Gaza.
The drone attack by Houthi rebels killed one person in the centre of Tel Aviv and wounded at least 10 others near the US Embassy early Friday.
