Yemeni officials said the attack on Tuesday targeted oil storage facilities and a power plant in the country’s south.
The Israeli army has also confirmed that its fighter jets struck targets in Yemen.
A spokesman for the Ansarallah resistance movement has slammed the attack, saying that pressuring Yemen to stop supporting Gaza is doomed to fail.
The group also said Israel will pay the price of the attack.
Israel also attacked oil storage facilities and a power plant in Hudaydah on July 20.
At least nine people were killed and 87 others wounded in the Israeli air raids when Israeli warplanes struck more than two dozen oil storage tanks and two shipping cranes in the Yemeni port as well as a power plant in the province.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Monday denounced last month’s Israeli airstrikes on the Hudaydah port as a “possible war crime.”
“The attacks appeared to cause disproportionate harm to civilians and civilian objects,” the New York-based rights group said.
“Serious violations of the laws of war committed willfully, that is deliberately or recklessly, are war crimes.”
Iran strongly condemned the Israeli attack on Hudaydah port facilities.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani said that the oppressed but powerful people of Yemen are paying the price for supporting the innocent women and children of Gaza.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas also condemned Tel Aviv.
The group said Israel will undoubtedly be burned by the fire that broke out in Hudaydah.
Condemning the Israeli aggression, the Islamic Jihad said it would not have been possible without the blatant support of the US administration and the British government.
Hezbollah in a statement has voiced support for the Yemeni people in defending their sovereignty.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
