He claimed the airport came under attack as he was about to board a flight from Sana'a, Yemen's capital.

Ghebreyesu had been in the country to negotiate the release of UN staff detainees and assess the health and humanitarian situation in the country.

The director confirmed he was not injured - but one of the plane’s crew members was.

Israel says the targets belong to what it calls "Houthi terrorists" backed by Iran - and the strikes are a response to the group's repeated attacks on Israel.

Houthi rebels in Yemen said Israeli air strikes have targeted the rebel-held capital of Sanaa and the port city of Hodeida following several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel.

The Israeli military said it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports at Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib along with power stations.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech on Wednesday that "the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad's regime and others learned".
