The Israeli military said it struck military targets linked to Yemen's Houthis in Sanaa on Thursday, a day after the group claimed a drone attack on a hotel in Israel's Red Sea resort of Eilat.

The Houthi general staff's control headquarters, security and intelligence compounds, and military camps where among the targets attacked by the Israeli air force, the military said in a statement.

"We have now delivered a powerful strike on numerous terror targets of the Houthi terror organization in Sanaa", Israel's defence minister Israel Katz said in a post on X.

The strikes are the latest in more than a year of attacks and counterstrikes between Houthi militants in Yemen and Israel, part of a spillover from the war in Gaza.

Yemeni residents told Reuters that the strikes were directed at areas in the south and west of Sanaa.

The strikes took place while a pre-recorded speech by Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi was airing.

At least 20 people were injured on Wednesday after a drone launched from Yemen hit a hotel in Israel's Red Sea resort city of Eilat, the Israeli ambulance service said.
