Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched more than 100 attacks targeting commercial vessels, disrupting global shipping and forcing firms to reroute.
Israel says it has launched strikes on Houthi targets in three Yemeni ports, including the western port of Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Saif.
The attacks come shortly after the Israeli military issued evacuation orders for civilians in the areas, warning of imminent air strikes.
Israeli defence minister Israel Katz confirmed on social media the strikes on the Houthi-controlled sites including a power station and ship that was hijacked by the group two years ago.
Houthi-run media in Yemen said the strikes hit the port of Hodeidah, but no further details were provided on damage or casualties.
Katz said the strikes were part of "Operation Black Flag" and warned that the Houthis "will continue to pay a heavy price for their actions".
