Yemen’s Houthi group says its prime minister, Ahmed al-Rahawi, was killed in an Israeli air strike on Sanaa along with several ministers. The attack hit a government workshop on Thursday, according to Al Jazeera.
Al-Rahawi, appointed in August 2024, led the Houthi-run administration in areas under the group’s control.
Israel confirmed striking what it called a “Houthi terrorist regime military site,” part of its ongoing campaign against the group. The Houthis have launched repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel and shipping routes in the Red Sea, declaring support for Palestinians in Gaza.
Earlier this week, Israeli strikes on Sanaa killed 10 people and wounded more than 90. Despite the losses, the Houthis say their operations will continue, Al Jazeera reported.
