Israeli airstrike killed Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several ministers during a government workshop in Sanaa on Thursday. Al-Rahawi served as PM of the Iranian-backed rebel government since August 2024. The strike targeted officials evaluating government performance over the past year. Israeli forces confirmed hitting "Houthi terrorist regime military target" in Sanaa area. Earlier strikes killed 10 people, wounded 102 according to Houthi health ministry. The attack represents significant escalation in Israel-Houthi conflict, with rebels launching missiles and drones toward Israel while targeting Red Sea shipping in Gaza solidarity. Israel and US-led coalition have responded with sustained bombardment of rebel-held areas including Sanaa and Hodeida, previously knocking Sanaa airport offline. (PC: The New York Times)
