According to the Yemen Press Agency (YPA), there were no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage after the airstrikes.
The Israeli occupation army said the targets included ''engineering vehicles, fuel containers and naval vessels.''
The strikes came in response to recent Yemeni missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets.
The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that the Arclight airstrikes destroyed "military infrastructure of the Houthi terror regime" at the western Yemen port, after attempts were made by the Houthis to repair areas previously targeted by Israel in response to missile and drone attacks.
Monday’s sortie marked the thirteenth time that Israel has attacked Yemen, located some 1,800 kilometers away.
Unlike previous attacks, Monday’s airstrikes did not involve dozens of fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes. Rather, it was carried out by IAF drones, military officials told The Times of Israel.
It marked the first Israeli strikes on Yemen since July 7. In the interim, the Houthis have launched six ballistic missiles and at least two drones at Israel, attacks that caused no damage or injuries.
The targets in Monday’s bombardment included "engineering equipment working to restore port infrastructure, fuel tanks, and vessels used for military activity and [attacks] against the State of Israel and ships in the maritime area near the port," the military said.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the IDF was "forcefully enforcing any attempt to restore the previously attacked terror infrastructure."
"The IDF identified continued activity and attempts by the Houthi terror regime’s forces to restore the terror infrastructure at the port; therefore, components used to advance this activity were targeted," the military said.
Hours after the strike, a drone launched at Israel from "the east" was intercepted by the IAF, the military said, adding that no sirens sounded, "according to protocol."
The drone was likely launched from Yemen, according to preliminary IDF assessments.
The Houthis last attacked Israel on Friday night with a ballistic missile that was intercepted.
