"I confirm that more military operations to target Tel Aviv are coming," the leader said in his weekly speech aired live by his group's al-Masirah TV.

Last week, the Houthis claimed responsibility for a drone attack on a building in Tel Aviv that killed a person and injured 10 others.

In retaliation, Israeli fighter jets bombarded fuel storage facilities in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, which is under the control of the Houthi rebels, killing six people and injuring 83 others, according to al-Masirah TV.
