Israel has launched an attack in Yemen.

Several Huthi targets in the port cities of Hodeidah and Ras Issa have been attacked with dozens of fighter jets, Israel's military announced on Sunday afternoon.

The targets were power plants and port facilities. Four people have been killed and over 30 injured, according to Huthi-controlled media.

The attacks come after the Iran-backed Yemeni Huthi movement has been shelling Israel in recent times, partly in response to the Israeli attacks that killed Shia militia Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday.

On Saturday, around the same time as Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to land at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv after his trip to the UN headquarters in New York, the terrorist-designated movement fired a rocket towards the airport.

However, the Huthi projectiles were shot down by Israel before they reached their targets.
