Yemeni movement Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, said on Sunday it carried out its first missile attack on the Orot Rabin power plant near the city of Haifa in northern Israel.
The Houthis have previously attempted to target power plants near Tel Aviv and Jerusalem after Israel bombed a power plant in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and the western city of Al Hudaydah.
"The Yemeni armed forces attacked the Orot Rabin power plant south of Haifa in the occupied Palestinian territories using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, successfully hitting the target," Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria told Yemen's broadcaster.

No deal until Israel agrees to quit Gaza, end war: Hamas
Israel pounded the Gaza Strip Sunday, killing at least 23 people according to rescuers, nearly 15 months into the war with Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
The latest deaths come after Israel late on Saturday said indirect negotiations had resumed in Qatar for a truce and hostage release deal.
Hamas has approved a list of 34 hostages presented by Israel to be exchanged in a possible ceasefire deal, a group official told Reuters Sunday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, also reiterated that any deal is contingent upon reaching an agreement on an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire.
