Israeli Strike in Sanaa Kills Houthi-Appointed Prime Minister and Several Ministers

The group installed deputy Mohammed Ahmed Miftah as interim premier to project continuity.

Overview

  • Houthi authorities said Ahmed al-Rahawi and multiple ministers were killed in an airstrike in the Yemeni capital during a government gathering.
  • Israel said its forces hit a military target in the Sanaa region on Thursday, describing the Houthi leadership as a terrorist regime.
  • The Houthi announcement on Saturday confirmed days of reports and added that other members were wounded in the attack.
  • The Houthi-run Saba agency reported that Mohammed Ahmed Miftah, previously deputy, was named acting prime minister.
  • Analysts and reports note al-Rahawi held a largely symbolic post, with operational control remaining under Abdel Malik al-Huthi and the risk of further exchanges persisting.
