SANAA: The leader of Yemen’s Houthis said on Sunday his group would keep launching attacks against Israel, a day after confirming that an Israeli strike had killed their government’s prime minister.
An attack on Thursday killed the Houthis’ prime minister, Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser Al-Rahawi, and other officials, the Iran-backed group has said.
Israel’s military has confirmed the strike on Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, and that it had killed Rahawi — the most senior official known to have died in a series of attacks during the Gaza war.
In a speech broadcast Sunday on the Houthis’s Al-Masirah TV, group leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi vowed to continue “targeting Israel with missiles and drones” and to escalate these attacks.
He added that recent Israeli strikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen would not weaken the group or discourage its fighters.
