An Israeli air strike earlier this week reportedly killed the prime minister of Yemen’s Houthi-run government and several other ministers.
According to Al Jazeera, the Houthis said Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser al-Rahawi was killed in a Thursday strike on Sanaa.
“The Houthis have controlled much of north-western Yemen since 2014, after ousting the internationally recognised government from Sanaa and triggering a devastating civil war,” BBC stated.

Al Jazeera shared additional details:
Al-Rahawi, who served as prime minister in areas of the divided country that the group controls, was targeted along with other members of the Houthi-led government during a workshop, the statement said.
The Houthis did not specify how many other ministers were also killed in the Israeli attack.
“We shall take vengeance, and we shall forge from the depths of wounds a victory,” Mahdi al-Mashat, a Yemeni politician and military officer who serves as the chairman of the Supreme Political Council of the Houthis, said in a video message later in the day.
Israel’s attack on Sanaa, which the Israeli military had said struck “a Houthi terrorist regime military target”, came as tensions in the region continue to escalate amid Israel’s war on Gaza.
Israel has repeatedly targeted Houthi positions in recent months as the Yemeni group has launched attacks on Israel and on Western vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, in what it says is a show of support for Palestinians in Gaza.

BBC has more:
Saudi Arabian news site al-Hadath reports the Houthis’ foreign minister, as well as the ministers for justice, youth and sports, social affairs and labour, were killed.
The office of Mahdi al-Mashat, the Houthis’ president, said that several other ministers “sustained moderate and serious injuries” as a result of the strike.
It added that Muhammad Ahmed Miftah, the Houthi deputy prime minister, would assume Rahawi’s role.
Rahawi had held his post since August 2024, and was largely seen as a figurehead of the movement instead of being part of the top decision-making circle that plans military operations.
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the movement’s ultimate leader, as well as the group’s defence minister and the chief of staff, were not said to be among the casualties in Thursday’s attack.
The IDF said in a statement late on Saturday that it had carried out the strike “within a few hours” of receiving intelligence concerning the gathering.
It said it was still assessing the operation’s full impact.
