Israeli media stated the missile was intercepted, and there have been no stories of any casualties or injury.
The Houthis “carried out the third navy operation … focusing on delicate Israeli enemy targets … with a barrage of ballistic missiles”, Houthi navy spokesman Yahya Saree stated in a video assertion.
“This operation was performed collectively with our mujahideen brothers in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon,” he added.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed missile and drone assaults focusing on Israel over the weekend, their first within the present battle.
The Israeli navy additionally stated on Monday that two drones launched from Yemen had been intercepted.
