Israel has said its fighter jets conducted a series of attacks against military targets in Yemen belonging to the Iran-backed Houthi movement.
An Israeli military spokesman said the targets included Red Sea ports and energy infrastructure in the capital Sanaa.
Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported that seven people were killed in the port of Salif and two in the Ras Issa oil facility, which are both in Hudaydah province.
The strikes came less than two hours after a missile fired from Yemen was intercepted over central Israel. A school and several cars were damaged in Ramat Gan on the edge of Tel Aviv.
The Houthis began attacking Israel and international shipping shortly after the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, saying they were acting in solidarity with Palestinians.
Israel’s military says hundreds of missiles and drones have since been launched at the country from Yemen, most of which have been intercepted.
