The Houthi rebels in Yemen claim responsibility for launching a missile this morning at what they say was a military base in northern Israel.

The military spokesperson for the Houthis says they launched a ballistic missile toward the Ramat David Airbase, southeast of Haifa.

Sirens were activated in Haifa and other communities in northern Israel around 5:30 a.m., and the IDF reported that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted.
