Location at a glance: Israel kills government members of the Huthi militia in Yemen

The Prime Minister of the Huthi militia supported by Iran was killed in an Israeli air raid in Yemen. A few days ago, both Ahmed al-Rahaui and several Huthi Minister died in the attack on a militia meeting in the capital Sanaa, as the Islamist Shiite organization now announced. Other of their members were violated.

Since the beginning of the Gaza War almost two years ago, the Huthi Israel has repeatedly attacked rockets and drones – according to their own statements, they want to show their solidarity with the Islamist Hamas in Gaza, which is also supported by Iran. In return, Israel’s military always attacks goals in Yemen.

Israel targets the leader of his enemies

The air raid on Thursday in the capital Sanaa again shows the ability of the Jewish state, leader of its most important enemies in the region. There have been some examples of this in the recent past.

Israel’s foreign intelligence agency Mossad 2024 had manipulated pagers and handheld radio devices exploded in the Lebanon, also supported by Iran. Around 40 people were killed and more than 3,000 injured. Mossad agents had reportedly contributed to the major attack of Israel against Iran, in which leading military and nuclear scientists were destroyed and nuclear scientists destroyed. And whether in Beirut, Tehran or in the Gaza Strip: Despite all the protection of protection, Israel’s security apparatus managed to specifically kill the highest leaders of the Hisbollah and Hamas.

Another rank -high functional of the Hamas now attacked Israel’s military in the city of Gaza. It was initially unclear who it was – however, Israeli media reported that the aim of the attack was the long -time spokesman for the military arm of Hamas, the Kassam brigades. This is known under his combat name Abu Obeida. He is considered one of the most famous representatives of the terrorist organization and was always only masked in appearances and video messages.

Death of the Huthi Prime Minister “symbolic blow”

Although the Huthi Prime Minister Al-Rahaui killed had little actual authority, his death on Israel improved ability to target the league of Islamists in Jemen, 2,000 kilometers away, said Ahmed Nagi, Yemen expert at the International Crisis Group, the “Wall Street Journal”. The attack adds the Huthi “a symbolic and psychological blow, even if its strategic effect remains limited as long as its most important military commanders remain outside of Israel’s reach”.

Already at the end of last year, Israel’s foreign and today’s Defense Minister Israel Katz had threatened to “hunt” all the leaders of the Huthi militia, as Israel did elsewhere. The aim of the air raid on Thursday was a facility in which dozens of leadership cadres of the “terrorist Huthi regime” were present, the Israeli military now explained on Saturday evening. Al-Rahaui and other ranked Huthi representatives were killed. A time window was used and struck rapidly, it said.

The Huthi officially describe themselves as “Ansar Allah” (“supporters of God”) and are considered the strongest strength in Yemen, where there has been civil war since 2014. The militia has been controlling the north of the country for around ten years. The Huthi government in Sanaa is not recognized internationally.

Thousands demonstrate in Israel for the end of the Gaza War

In the meantime, in a large demonstration in the Israeli coastal metropolis Tel Aviv, thousands of people again demanded a rapid end of the Gaza war and the release of the hostages in the Gaza Strip from the violence of Hamas. Numerous people gathered on the “Place of the hostage” in the center of the city and asked the government to agree to a deal with Hamas for a ceasefire and exemption of the kidnapped.

Today, according to media reports, the security cabinet around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to meet again. However, a proposal for such an agreement that is already in gear by Hamas should not be the subject of the discussions, as the TV broadcaster N12 reported.

“Tonight, the people in Israel received further evidence that the Netanyahu government preferred an endless war to hostage and thus completely opposed the will of the people, although there is a real way to bring the hostages home,” said the hostage forum. It called for another protest for today.
