LONDON: The Houthis confirmed on Thursday the death of Major General Mohammed AbdulKareem Al-Ghamari, their chief of staff and one of the group’s most prominent military figures, following an Israeli airstrike.
An announcement from the group’s Armed Forces also reported the deaths of several of his companions and his 13-year-old son, Hussein, according to Houthi news agency SABA.
Al-Ghamari had been previously reported wounded in the strike, but the group’s official statement on Thursday confirmed his death.
