"Lieutenant General Mohammed al-Ghamari died in this honourable battle against the Israeli enemy," a military statement said.
Al-Ghamari died alongside "companions" and his 13-year-old son, the Houthi statement said.
"The rounds of conflict with the enemy have not ended, and the Zionist enemy (Israel) will receive its deterrent punishment for the crimes it has committed," read the Houthi statement.
In the past several months, Israel has carried out tens of airstrikes on Sanaa, Hodeida, and other cities in Yemen, killing and wounding hundreds of civilians, in addition to top Houthi officials.
In August, the Houthis announced on Saturday that Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser Al-Rahawi was killed in an Israeli airstrike along with other officials earlier that month.
"We announce the martyrdom of the fighter Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser Al-Rahawi ... along with several of his ministerial colleagues, as they were targeted by the treacherous Israeli criminal enemy," a Houthi statement said at the time
The Israeli attacks on Yemen came in retaliation for the Houthis' repeated attacks on Israeli targets and Israeli-linked cargo ships in the Red Sea in solidarity with the Palestinians in the strip, who were facing genocide at the hands of Tel Aviv since October 202.
The Houthis' statement noted they had carried out 758 military operations, deploying 1,835 munitions, including drones and missiles, during their campaign.
