Israeli Airstrikes in Sana'a Kill Yemeni Prime Minister and Ministers

The Israeli Air Force conducted a series of targeted strikes in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a on Thursday, resulting in the confirmed deaths of Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several ministers associated with the Houthi Political Council. The attacks occurred during a virtual workshop led by Houthi Leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi.

In addition to the fatalities, numerous officials were reported injured in the strikes, which have drawn widespread condemnation and raised concerns about the escalating violence in the region. The Houthi-run media channels confirmed the casualties, highlighting the significant impact on the Houthi leadership.

This incident marks a significant escalation in the conflict, with Israeli forces taking direct action against Yemeni officials. It follows a pattern of military engagements in the region, including recent developments involving Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, as reported earlier.

The repercussions of this attack are expected to reverberate throughout Yemen, potentially destabilizing the already fragile political landscape. Analysts warn that this could lead to further retaliation from the Houthis and deepen the humanitarian crisis in the war-torn country.
