Houthis say Ahmed al-Rahawi and a number of ministers were killed in Israel’s attack on Sanaa this week.
Yemen’s Houthis have confirmed that an Israeli air strike earlier this week killed the prime minister of the group’s government in the capital, Sanaa.
Ahmed al-Rahawi was killed in a Thursday strike in Sanaa along with a number of ministers, the Houthis said in a statement on Saturday.
Al-Rahawi, who served as prime minister in areas of the divided country that the group controls, was targeted along with other members of the Houthi-led government during a workshop, the statement said.
The Houthis said “several” other ministers were also killed in the Israeli attack, without offering more details.
