Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF confirms that the prime minister of the Houthi-led government in Yemen was killed in an Israeli strike on the capital Sanaa last week.
A news agency run by the Iran-backed Houthis had announced the death of the group’s prime minister, Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahwi, earlier today.
The military says that several Houthi military officials were killed in the strikes as well, along with other senior members of the group’s political leadership.
The exact outcome of the strike and the fate of some of those targeted has yet to be determined, it says.
“The strike was made possible by seizing an intelligence opportunity and completing a rapid operational cycle, which took place within a few hours,” the IDF adds.
