Israeli Airstrike in Sanaa Kills Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al‑Rahawi

 

Houthi fighters join protesters, as they demonstrate to show support to Palestinians in Gaza at Sabeen Square in Sanaa, Yemen


The Iranian‑backed Houthi movement has confirmed that its prime minister, Ahmed al‑Rahawi, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Thursday in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. Several ministers also died in the strike, which targeted a government workshop reviewing the administration’s performance over the past year.

The attack comes amid escalating hostilities, with the Houthis repeatedly launching missiles and drones toward Israel and targeting shipping in the Red Sea in what they describe as solidarity with Palestinians during the war in Gaza.

Earlier in the week, Israeli strikes on Sanaa killed at least 10 people and wounded over 100, according to Houthi‑run health authorities. The death of al‑Rahawi, who had served as prime minister since August 2024, marks a significant blow to the rebel‑controlled government and could further inflame tensions in the region.
