Yahya Saree, military spokesperson for Yemen's Houthis, said the group was responsible for an attack on Sunday intercepted by Israel.
He said the Houthis fired a "hypersonic" missile towards Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.
Sirens sounded across several areas of Israel on Sunday, as Israel intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards Israel.
Saree said the attack was successful as it caused the airport to halt operations and Israelis to flee to shelters.
Since October 2023, Yemen's Houthis have fired missiles at Israel in what they describe as an act of solidarity with Palestinians under bombardment in Gaza.
