Houthis confirm their prime minister killed in Israeli strike

The Houthis have announced the death of their prime minister, Rahawi, in an Israeli air strike, along with several ministers whose names were not all disclosed. Reports suggest that the foreign minister and ministers for justice, youth and sports, social affairs, and labour were among those killed. The office of the Houthi president confirmed that other ministers sustained injuries, and Muhammad Ahmed Miftah will take over as prime minister. Rahawi was considered a figurehead rather than a key military strategist, and the movement's top leaders were not among the casualties. The Israeli military has not commented on the incident, which comes amid ongoing hostilities between Israel and the Houthis, who have launched attacks in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
