Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi, the prime minister of the Yemeni-Ansarullah-led government in Sanaa was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Yemeni capital on Thursday.
According to Al-Jumhuriya, an anti-Ansarullah government channel broadcasting from Aden, Ahmed al-Rahawi was struck while inside an apartment in the Bayt Baws neighborhood. The Aden Al-Ghad newspaper carried a similar account, saying he was killed along with several close associates. Al-Rahawi had served as the Houthis’ prime minister for about a year, holding a largely administrative position within the unrecognized government.
This is while the Israeli regime media have reported such a claim by the UAE-backed media source. The news comes after the Israeli regime claimed to have targeted the senior military commanders of the Sanaa government in its new aggression on Yemen.
Last night, a Yemeni Ansarullah official denied the Israeli regime's claim that the commanders of the Yemeni army were targeted in the Thursday airstrikes.
The Israeli regime's military attacked the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Thursday. Following the airstrikes, Israeli regime media claimed that the commanders of the Ansarullah government-led military were targted.
The Israeli military said in a statement that its forces on Thursday struck a military target in the area of Sanaa. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
However, a Yemeni official Nasr al-Din Amer denied reports in Israeli media that the strike had targeted the Yemeni commanders, including the defence minister and chief of staff.
