Deadly Strike: Yemeni Prime Minister Reportedly Killed in Israeli Airstrike
In a stunning development from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, reports from a Yemeni television station claim that the Houthi government's Prime Minister, Ahmed Al-Rahawi, was killed in a precision Israeli airstrike. The attack is said to have also eliminated several other top Houthi military and political leaders.
The Details of the Attack
According to a report by the Yemeni television station Al-Jumhuriya, the strike occurred while ten high-ranking Houthi officials were in a meeting led by Houthi leader Alaa Houthi. The Israeli Air Force reportedly carried out the attack based on intelligence from Israel's Mossad.
The report details that the strike was launched from a significant distance—two thousand miles in the air—and utilized specialized "bunker-buster" and ground-penetrating bombs. The use of such weaponry suggests the target was a fortified location.
High-Profile Casualties
Euro News, citing both Yemeni and Israeli intelligence sources, corroborated the claims, reporting that several key figures were likely killed in the surprise attack. The casualties reportedly include:
- Ahmed Al-Rahawi, the Houthi-appointed Prime Minister
- The Houthi Minister of Defense
- The Houthi military commander
- Several other senior Houthi officials
The reported strike marks a major escalation in the covert conflict between Israel and the Houthi movement, which has been launching attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and targeting Israel with long-range missiles and drones. While the reports remain unconfirmed by Israeli officials, the precision and high-value targeting of the strike, if true, would represent a significant blow to the Houthi leadership structure.
