Overview

• A Houthi statement said Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahwi died in Thursday's strikes in the Yemeni capital.
• The group reported that several ministers were also killed and that additional officials were seriously wounded.
• The strike was described by the Houthis as hitting a government meeting, while Israel said it targeted a military objective in Sanaa.
• Earlier air raids this week hit the presidential palace and a fuel storage site, with 10 deaths reported by the insurgents.
• The escalation follows months of Houthi missile and drone launches toward Israel and renewed Red Sea attacks, with Israel reporting most incoming fire intercepted and a U.S. shipping truce no longer holding since July.
