Yemen's Houthis acknowledge the demise of their Prime Minister and members of the government following an attack by Israel on Thursday.

In a shocking turn of events, the Houthi movement in Yemen has confirmed the death of its de facto Prime Minister, Ahmed Ghalib al-Rahwi, in an aerial attack carried out by Israel on the country's capital, Sanaa.

The attacks, which occurred on Thursday, also targeted the Minister of Defense, Mohamed al-Atifi, and the Chief of Staff, Mohamed Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari. However, the specific number or nature of the attacks is not specified in the article, and there is still no confirmed information about the status of Mohamed al-Atifi and Mohamed Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari.

The death of Ahmed Ghalib al-Rahwi is estimated to have killed the Houthi Prime Minister and the rest of the cabinet, including twelve subordinate ministers. In a statement, the Houthis confirmed that several of Ahmed Ghalib al-Rahwi's ministerial colleagues also died in the attack.

The Yemeni Presidency, installed by the Houthis, has issued a statement expressing their condolences and stating that the blood of the great martyrs is seen as fuel and motivation to continue on the same path. They also emphasised that the institutions will not be affected, regardless of the magnitude of the loss.

Mahdi al-Mashat, the de facto Yemeni president installed by the Houthis, has issued a presidential decree appointing Mohamed Ahmed Miftah as the replacement for Ahmed Ghalib al-Rahwi. Miftah was the vice-prime minister prior to his appointment and is now expected to lead the Houthi government.

The Houthi movement continues to provide services to the Yemeni people despite the loss of key leaders. This resilience is evident in their recent actions, as they have joined a ceasefire announced by Washington in May.

In response to the bombing of these countries against Yemen, the Houthis have also attacked ships and other strategic assets of the United States and Britain. Additionally, the Houthis have launched attacks against Israeli territory and ships with some connection to the Jewish state in response to the offensive unleashed against Gaza.

The Houthi Minister of Defense, General Mohamed Nasser al-Atifi, has issued a statement saying the Houthi forces are ready to face the Zionist enemy supported by the United States. This statement underscores the ongoing tension and potential for further conflict in the region.

The loss of Ahmed Ghalib al-Rahwi is a significant blow to the Houthi movement and the people of Yemen. However, the resilience and determination shown by the Yemeni Presidency and the Houthis indicate that they will continue to strive for peace and stability in their country.
