The Houthi Ansar Allah movement confirmed yesterday that Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi was killed by an Israeli air strike on Thursday night, Aug. 28. In a statement, the Houthi-run Yemeni presidency said that al-Rahawi, along with other ministers, were targeted during a routine government workshop assessing their performance, reported the Middle East Eye. Some ministers were killed or wounded, though their identities were not disclosed.
Despite the attack, the presidency insisted that the government would continue to function without disruption. “We remain steadfast in supporting Gaza,” the statement added.
