Confirmation of the Demise of Yemen's Houthi Leader by the Houthi Movement
In a series of events that have shaken Yemen, the Houthi government has appointed a new acting prime minister following the assassination of Ahmed Galeeb Ar-Rahawi. The news of his death and the subsequent appointment was reported by various news outlets, including DW and AFP, on Saturday, August 30.
Ar-Rahawi, who was the head of the government formed by the Houthi group, was killed in an Israeli strike on Sanaa, Yemen. The circumstances surrounding his death are not provided in the text. The attack was claimed by the "Ansar Allah" movement, and the Houthi group confirmed his death.
The new acting prime minister is Mohammed Ahmed Miftah, who was previously Rahawi's deputy. Miftah's appointment comes a day after an attack on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, although the exact timing of this attack is not specified in the text.
Reports suggest that the attack on Ben Gurion Airport was carried out using a hypersonic "Palestine-2" rocket, but the details of the attack, such as casualties or damage, are not provided in the text.
In addition to Ar-Rahawi, twelve members of the Yemeni cabinet were reportedly killed in the same strike. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding these casualties, as reported by Times of Israel.
Ar-Rahawi was appointed head of the Houthi government on August 10, 2024. His sudden death has left a vacuum in the Houthi leadership, and the future of the government remains uncertain.
As the situation unfolds, the international community will be watching closely to see how the Houthi government responds to this tragic event and who will step forward to fill the leadership void left by Ar-Rahawi's assassination.
