Any serious hardware Ansar Allah operates is provided by Iran, and Iran is not capable of shooting down IAF aircraft flying over their own territory. Ansar Allah did not shoot down an F-18.
That being said in the Red Sea incident they likely were not stealthy at all. For one F-18 has a rather big cross section, it's a 4th generation jet. For another the Houthis are not known to operate any sensible air defense (I may be wrong here, someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
