Houthi Leader Suffers Fatal Blow in Israeli Strike

In a shocking turn of events, the Houthi leader Ahmed al-Rahaui was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Sanaa, Yemen on Thursday. The attack also claimed the lives of several Houthi ministers.

The Houthi's highest political council immediately named Mohammed Ahmed as acting prime minister following the announcement of al-Rahaui's death. Mohammed Ahmed previously served as al-Rahaui's deputy.

The Houthis, officially known as "Ansar Allah" ("Supporters of God"), are considered the strongest force in Yemen, where a civil war has been raging since 2014. The Houthi government, which is not recognized internationally, will continue its work following al-Rahaui's death.

The Israeli air force claimed to have targeted a "military target of the Houthi terror regime" in the Sanaa area. However, the Houthis have not publicly commented on the Thursday attack.

The Houthis have been repeatedly attacking commercial ships and Israel since the start of the Gaza war nearly two years ago, with the stated aim of supporting the Palestinians. The militia's leader is Abdel Malik al-Huthi, whose brother founded the Shia organization about 30 years ago.

Despite specific detailed public information about Mohammed Ahmed's background not being readily available, it is known that he served as al-Rahaui's deputy before his appointment as acting prime minister. The attack also injured several other members of the Houthi militia.

It is important to note that the Houthis are not recognized internationally as a legitimate government. The civil war in Yemen continues to escalate, with no end in sight. The international community is closely watching the developments in Yemen and the impact they may have on regional stability.
