Houthi Leader Suffers Fatal Strike by Israeli Aggression

In a significant development, the Houthi leader Ahmed al-Rahaui was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Sanaa, Yemen. The Israeli military confirmed that Al-Rahaui and other high-ranking Houthi representatives were targeted in the attack.

The Houthi's highest political council appointed Mohammed Ahmed as the acting president following Al-Rahaui's death. Ahmed served as Al-Rahaui's deputy and was named as his successor after his demise. However, no information about the international recognition of the Houthi government or the status of Mohammed Ahmed is currently available.

The Houthi group, officially known as "Ansar Allah" ("Supporters of God"), has controlled Sanaa and the north of Yemen for nearly a decade. Despite not being recognized internationally, the Houthi government will continue its work following the airstrike.

The target of the airstrike was a gathering of "dozens" of leading members of the Houthi regime. The Houthis have been repeatedly targeting commercial ships and sometimes Israel since the start of the Gaza war nearly two years ago.

The Houthis, who claim to support the Palestinians, are considered the strongest force in Yemen, where a civil war has been raging since 2014. The Houthi government's president, Ahmed al-Rahaui, was not recognised internationally and had little real power.

Abdel Malik al-Huthi leads the Houthi group, whose brother founded the Shia organization around 30 years ago. The Saba news agency, which is controlled by the Houthis, reported the appointment of Mohammed Ahmed as acting president. However, the new interim president of the Houthi movement in Yemen, appointed after Al-Rahaui's death, is not named in the available search results.

No information was provided about the continuation of the Houthi government's work following the airstrike. The Houthis have not made any official statement regarding the future of their government or their stance on the recent developments.
