The rebels' political leader Mahdi al-Mashar promised a "painful" response to a spate of deadly Israeli strikes in retaliation for missile fire at Israel's main airport.
In a statement, he said that the attacks "will continue" and go "beyond what the Israeli enemy can withstand", without mentioning the US ceasefire deal.
The United States and Yemen's Houthis have reached a ceasefire agreement, mediator Oman announced Tuesday, saying the deal would ensure "freedom of navigation" in the Red Sea where the Iran-backed rebels have attacked shipping.
