Yemen’s Houthis say prime minister of rebel-controlled government killed in Israeli airstrike | AI News Digest
Yemen's Houthi rebels confirmed the death of their Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi in an Israeli airstrike in Sanaa. The strike also injured several other political leaders during a government workshop. In response, the Houthis vowed to take revenge against Israel, with their leadership promising to confront what they termed the 'US-backed Zionist enemy.' Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation, describing it as a significant blow to Houthi leadership. This marks a shift in Israel's strategy, as it has previously focused on military targets rather than high-profile assassinations within Yemen.
