A question nobody should answer.

So how did the rebels get hold of them? There's no record of official sales to the Yemeni government pre-civil war.

The missile that the Houthis used probably came from Iran, since Iran is supporting the Houthis. Iran made copies of the C-802 bought from China, and renamed them the Noor.

The Houthi rebels have rapidly gained momentum, averaging an attack or a missile strike nearly every week in 2018. This increase in action started in October 2016, when Houthi rebels launched numerous anti-ship cruise missiles at a catamaran vessel carrying wounded Yemeni and other passengers operating off the coast of Yemen. The attack ultimately pronounced an act of terrorism by the United Nations. Just a few days later a military ship from the United Arab Emirates, a coalition member-state, was attacked in its passage to the port of Mokha in the Red Sea by Houthi missiles. The vessel was severely damaged.
The conflict escalated further after an attempted Houthi attack on a U.S. Navy ship, the USS Mason. Intelligence sources confirmed after the attack that the missiles fired on the ship on October 9, 2016 were guided anti-ship C-802s, of Chinese descent. Houthi possession of this missile system at the time was unknown, and with a warhead designed to penetrate hulls and disperse shrapnel the Houthis demonstrated a newfound ability to target and attempt to destroy naval ships. However, the USS Mason was an Arleigh-Burke guided missile destroyer and effectively defused the attack using Standard Missile-2 and Evolved Sea Sparrow missile interceptors. The Houthis continued attempting to attack the Mason for the remainder of October 2016 but were deterred each time. Despite this failure, the Houthis proved themselves to be a formidable force through their possession of such powerful missile systems.
