DUBAI, May 2. /TASS/. The Houthis from Yemen's rebel Ansar Allah movement have delivered a missile strike on a target in the Israeli city of Haifa, the movement’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree said.

"The Yemeni missile troops conducted a military operation and delivered a strike on a critical facility of the Israeli enemy near occupied Haifa with the use of a hypersonic ballistic missile. This was the second such operation in recent hours," he told the Houthi-controlled Al Masirah television channel.

Earlier in the day, the Houthis said that they had delivered a missile strike on the Ramat David airbase in northern Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that a missile had been launched from Yemen early on Friday. The missile was intercepted before it crossed into the Israeli airspace.
