The military commander of the Houthi rebels in Yemen, Muhammad al-Ghamari, has died, the Iran-backed group announces.
It says that he died “in the course of his jihadist work.”
Israel carried out an assassination attempt against al-Ghamari and other senior Houthi officials on June 12. At the time, reports indicated that al-Ghamari had survived but was severely wounded.
The IDF confirmed at the time that it had targeted him, but said that the results of the attack were unclear.
Al-Ghamari was also reportedly among the targets of an Israeli strike on Houthi leaders in August, in which the Houthi prime minister was killed, along with a dozen other officials.
