In a tragic turn of events, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have confirmed that their Prime Minister, Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser Al-Rahawi, along with several ministers, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the rebel-controlled government in Sanaa. This strike, which occurred on Thursday, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict in the region.
According to reports from France 24, the Houthi rebels have denounced the Israeli attack as “treacherous” and have vowed to retaliate against what they perceive as unwarranted aggression. The death of Prime Minister Al-Rahawi, who was appointed just last year, has dealt a severe blow to the rebel-controlled government and has raised concerns about the stability of the region.
The Israeli government has been conducting airstrikes on Houthi targets for months in response to missile attacks by the rebels, who have declared solidarity with the Palestinians. The latest strike, which resulted in the death of the Houthi Prime Minister and several ministers, has further heightened tensions in the already volatile region.
The international community has expressed concerns about the escalating violence in Yemen and has called for a de-escalation of hostilities to prevent further loss of life. The United Nations and other humanitarian organizations have urged all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians and to seek peaceful resolutions to the conflict.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the death of the Houthi Prime Minister and ministers will impact the dynamics of the conflict in Yemen and the broader Middle East region. The repercussions of this airstrike are likely to reverberate across political, social, and humanitarian spheres, underscoring the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
