Shafaq News - Sanaa
Prime Minister of the Houthi-led government, Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi, was killed along with several of his companions in the recent Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Sanaa, Sources told the Yemeni outlet Aden al-Ghad.
The group has not issued any statement on the reported killing or on the locations targeted by Israel.
On Thursday, Israeli media outlets reported that 10 airstrikes were carried out across Sanaa, with the focus on the Houthis’ political leadership.
Codenamed “Drop of Luck,” the strikes targeted a gathering of senior commanders, including the group’s chief of staff and defense minister. The outcome of the attack, which coincided with a speech by Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, remains under assessment.
Despite the ongoing strikes, the Houthis have continued to launch missiles and drones toward Israel and to block vessels linked to Israel from sailing through the Red Sea, saying their operations are meant to support the Palestinians in Gaza.
According to the Times of Israel, over 70 missiles and 23 drones have been launched from Yemen toward Israel since March.
