Yemen’s Houthi rebels hold a funeral for their prime minister and 11 other senior officials killed in an Israeli air strike that decimated its political cabinet.
Twelve coffins draped in flags are displayed at Sanaa’s Al-Shaab mosque, as masked gunmen patrol the area and thousands of mourners flooded in.
Houthi prime minister Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser al-Rahawi, nine ministers, and two cabinet officials were killed as they attended a government meeting in the Sanaa area on Thursday.
The Houthis, part of Iran’s “axis of resistance” of anti-Israeli groups, vowed to step up their attacks on Israel following Thursday’s killings.
