In a significant development in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, Houthi rebels have reported that an Israeli airstrike killed their prime minister in the rebel-controlled government in the capital city of Sanaa. The Iranian-backed Houthis confirmed the death of their Prime Minister, Ahmed al-Rahawi, in the attack, marking a new escalation in the region’s tensions.
According to reports from NPR, Al Jazeera, and CBS News, the Israeli military conducted the airstrike on Thursday, targeting what they described as a “Houthi terrorist regime military target” in Sanaa. The strike resulted in the death of the Houthi Prime Minister and several other officials, as confirmed by the rebel group.
The incident comes amidst heightened conflict in the region, with Israel conducting military operations in Gaza and now extending its actions to Yemen. The Houthi rebels have accused Israel of escalating the situation with this targeted attack, further complicating the already volatile situation in Yemen.
While the Israeli military has not officially commented on the airstrike, the Houthi rebels’ confirmation of the Prime Minister’s death has raised concerns about the potential for further violence and instability in the region. The killing of a top Houthi official is likely to have far-reaching implications for the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the broader Middle East.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains crucial for international stakeholders to closely monitor developments and work towards de-escalating tensions in the region. The impact of this airstrike on the already fragile political landscape in Yemen underscores the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to prevent further violence and loss of life.
