The Houthis in Yemen have confirmed that their Prime Minister Ghalib al-Rahawi and a number of his ministers were eliminated during an Israeli airstrike on Thursday.
“The Israeli enemy targeted the prime minister and several ministers during a routine government workshop to evaluate its activity and performance over the past year,” the Houthi presidency said in a statement broadcast on Houthi-run television.
Israel has yet to comment on today’s announcement. However, officials said on Thursday that the IAF had targeted Houthi leaders days after the terrorist group fired a missile containing a new type of cluster sub-munition against Israel.
