Yemeni leader of the Houthi administration, along with several ministers, reportedly perished in an Israeli bombing attack: Reporting Agency

In a significant development during the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the Israeli military confirmed an airstrike in Sanaa, the Houthi-held capital of Yemen, which resulted in the death of Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser Al-Rahawi, the head of Yemen's Houthis.

The announcement of Al-Rahawi's death was made by the Houthis on Saturday. Several of his ministerial colleagues and companions were also reportedly killed in the attack. The injuries sustained by the companions range from moderate to serious, and they have been receiving medical care since Thursday afternoon.

The Israeli military stated that they struck a Houthi terrorist regime military target, but no further details about the circumstances of the airstrike were provided.

The death of Al-Rahawi is the most senior official known to have been killed in a series of Israeli strikes during the war in Gaza. However, the article does not mention any plans for a successor to Al-Rahawi as the head of Yemen's Houthis.

The Houthis have been firing missiles and drones at Israel during the Gaza war, claiming solidarity with the Palestinians. Their statement regarding Al-Rahawi's death described the Israeli enemy as "treacherous."

Despite the significant event, the article does not provide any information about the reaction or response from other countries or organizations to Al-Rahawi's death. The group, the Houthis, controls large parts of Yemen, which has been in a state of war since 2014.

The article also does not mention any plans for new West Bank settlements or statements from the Red Cross regarding the mass evacuation of Gaza City. The specific location where the airstrike occurred was not specified in the article.
