The prime minister of Yemen’s Houthi government and several other ministers were killed in an Israeli strike on the capital Sanaa, the news agency run by the group said on Saturday, citing a statement by the head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat.
A number of others were wounded in Thursday’s strike, it said, without providing details.
Later on Saturday, the IDF also confirmed that Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi was killed alongside several Houthi military officials and other senior members of the group’s political leadership, though it did not name them.
The exact outcome of the strike and the fate of some of those targeted had yet to be determined, it said.
Israel said on Friday that the airstrike had targeted the Iran-aligned group’s chief of staff, defense minister and other senior officials and that it was verifying the outcome.
Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Saturday evening that the attack was “just the beginning.”
“Two days ago, we dealt an unprecedented crushing blow to the senior officials in the military-political leadership of the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen, in a bold and brilliant action by the IDF,” Katz said.
“The destiny of Yemen is the destiny of Tehran — and this is just the beginning,” Katz continued. “The Houthis will learn the hard way that whoever threatens and harms Israel will be harmed sevenfold — and they will not determine when this ends.”

Yumpin Yemeni.
Nobody beats the Israelis in assassinations! The beepers, this strike, the hit on the Hezbollah leader in Lebanon with a dozen 2000 pounders, then hitting his funeral too to get his minions. Numerous hits in Syrians (but never an isis leader).
That Sicarii assassin thing from Jesus era still lurks in their DNA
FAFO
Gee, that’s a shame.
So, evidently you would rather have Israel engage in mass casualty attacks on foreign armies and civilian infrastructure, rather than targeting those particular people that are responsible for attacking Israel. Of course, you would condemn them for that, too. After all, you get offended if Jews defend themselves, let alone actually defeat an enemy…I wonder why that might be? /sarc
Good job!
When the Houthis started firing missiles into Israel I said it wasn't a good idea.
“Houthis ... prime minister”
i had no idea Hooties were a country!

They sleep with the Blowfishes.
This is an even more effective approach than Biden’s warning them “Don’t”
Maadi Al Asshat needs to declare Defeat and Surrender to Israel and start paying reparations to all harmed by Hootie morons.
Just look at that ragtag of miscreants. They could be the cast from Mad Max Thunderdome or the democrat party leadership.
Send them to hell, Israel. You’re work is not done.
Chimpanzees are more civilized than these inbred animals.
What good is DNA testing when they are all 1st cousins?
If you saw pix of the attack weapon going off, that was one hella blast.
