Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels announced on Saturday that an Israeli airstrike in the capital, Sanaa, has killed Ahmed al-Rahawi, the prime minister of their rebel-controlled government, along with several other ministers.
The strike, which occurred on Thursday during a government workshop, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict tied to Israel’s war in Gaza.
According to a detailed report from NPR, the airstrike targeted a routine evaluation session assessing the Houthi government’s performance over the past year.
This incident follows a series of Israeli attacks on Houthi positions, including strikes earlier in the week that killed at least 10 people and wounded 102 others, as reported by the Houthi-run health ministry.
