The centre of Israel has been hit by a ballistic missile fired from more than 1,000 miles away in Yemen for the first time.
People rushed to shelters after the alarm was raised by the Israeli on Sunday morning.
Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport was one of the areas evacauted.
The ballistic missile landed in an unpopulated "open area" in Kfar Daniel, about four miles from Ben Gurion Airport, officials said.
Other parts landed on an escalator in a train station in the central town of Modiin.
Israeli military said the missile "most likely fragmented in mid-air" and no injuries had been reported.
A spokesperson for the Houthis, who control large areas of Yemen, claimed responsibility and warned Israel it should expect "more strikes and specific operations to come".
Houthi spokesman Nasruddin Amer said the weapon used was a "new hypersonic ballistic missile" that "the enemy's defence systems failed to intercept and confront", according to Sky.
He added: "It crossed a distance of 2,040km in 11-and-a-half minutes, and caused a state of fear and panic among the Zionists, as more than two million Zionists headed to shelters for the first time in the history of the Israeli enemy...
"The geographical challenges, the American-British aggression, and the monitoring, espionage and interception systems will not prevent beloved Yemen from performing its religious, moral and humanitarian duty in solidarity with the Palestinian people."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Houthis would pay a "heavy price" for the attack.
The Houthis, who are aligned with Iran, have been carrying out military action since last October in an attempt to pressure Israel to end its assault in Gaza.
They have attacked shipping in the Red Sea as part of reprisals against Israel and its backers.
A Houthi drone attack killed one person and wounded four in Tel Aviv in July.
Israel carried out reprisal air strikes on Yemen which killed six people and injured 80.
Houthi targeting of shipping in the Red Sea has continued this summer despite the US and UK also carrying out bombing raids on Yemen in an attempt to halt the attacks.
