Israel eliminates Houthi prime minister in Yemen airstrike targeting senior government officials
The strike killed Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahawi and eight ministers, part of Israel's effort to halt missile and drone attacks linked to the group, officials said.
An Israeli airstrike killed Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several officials during a routine government meeting in Sanaa.
The attack marks a significant escalation in the conflict, targeting high-ranking Houthi officials as part of Israel's military campaign in response to rebellion activities.
The Houthi leadership affirmed that they remain operational and appointed Mohammed Miftah as the interim Prime Minister following al-Rahawi's death.
Following the strike, the Houthis expressed intent to retaliate and vowed continued support for Gaza amid the ongoing regional conflict.
