"Air Force jets have just struck terror targets of the Huthi terrorist organisation at the airport in Sanaa and destroyed the last aircraft remaining," Katz said in a statement.
"This is a clear message and a continuation of our policy: whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price," he added.
The Israeli military said the strikes on Wednesday had destroyed aircraft belonging to the group.
Houthi media shortly after reported that Israel had struck the airport.
The strikes comes a day after the Israeli military said that it had intercepted a missile and another projectile fired from Yemen by the group.
The Houthis, who control large swathes of Yemen, later confirmed that they had launched two "ballistic missiles" towards Israel.
The Houthis have repeatedly fired missiles and drones targeting Israel since the war on Gaza broke out in October 2023, in solidarity with Palestinians.
The Yemeni group paused their attacks during a two-month Gaza ceasefire that ended in March, but resumed them after Israel restarted its war on the territory.
While most of the projectiles have been intercepted, one missile fired by the group in early May hit the perimeter of Ben Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv for the first time, sparking wide cancelations of international flights to Israel.
