The missile was aimed at the Tel Aviv area, the Houthis said.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces targeted a military target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Yaffa (Tel Aviv) using a hypersonic ballistic missile, type Palestine 2," a Huthi military statement said.
"The operation has successfully achieved its objectives," it added.
The Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles at Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians since the genocidal war in Gaza began more than a year ago.
Most have been intercepted, but on Saturday an attack that hit Tel Aviv wounded 16 people, prompting a warning from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"We will act against the Houthis... with force, determination and sophistication," he said in a video statement on Sunday.
In the latest attack, air raid sirens sounded over a wide swathe of central Israel as a precaution against falling debris.
But the Israeli army claimed it had shot down the projectile before it entered Israel. No injuries were reported, according to Israel's emergency medical services.
