Mohammed al-Bukhaiti told the BBC that the Houthis would "escalate our military targeting of Israel" until it stopped what he described as "the genocide in Gaza".

On Thursday, Israeli warplanes struck the international airport in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and ports and power stations on the Red Sea coast, killing at least four people.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that its response to more than a year of missile and drone attacks by the Iran-backed group was "just getting started".

Overnight, the Houthis launched another ballistic missile at Israel, which the Israeli military said was intercepted before it reached Israeli territory.
