The Israeli military is not aware of any such incident, a spokesman said, and there are no signs of anything unusual at the port of Haifa.
The Houthis have been launching drone and missile strikes in the Red Sea since November in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.
In dozens of attacks, they have sunk two ships, captured one, while at least three sailors have lost their lives as a result of a Houthi attack.
