Thousands of mourners attended a funeral at the largest mosque in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Monday for 12 senior Houthi figures, including their prime minister, who were killed by an Israeli strike. Last Thursday's attack, the first to kill top officials, struck a large number of people who had gathered to watch a televised speech recorded by top Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi, and it left most members of the group's cabinet dead.
Mourners chanted the Houthi slogan "God is Great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam", as Mohammed Miftah, now de facto head of the Iran-aligned government in Sanaa, vowed revenge as well as an internal security crackdown against spies. "We are facing the strongest intelligence empire in the world, the one that targeted the government - the whole Zionist entity (comprising) the U.S. administration, the Zionist entity, the Zionist Arabs and the spies inside Yemen," Miftah told the crowd of mourners at the Al Saleh mosque. Miftah became the acting head of the Houthis' government on Saturday following the death in the Israeli strike of Prime Minister Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahwi. Al-Rahwi was largely a figurehead and not part of the inner circle of power.
Miftah had previously been his deputy. A raid on the United Nations offices in Sanaa on Sunday led to the detention of at least 11 U.N. personnel, the body said. The Houthis have given no reason for the raid but they have held a number of Yemeni employees of the U.N. and other aid agencies in the past on suspicion of spying.

This was a marvelous opportunity to take out a whole bunch of them.
Wut? They gonna get mad?
why not? i want xi dead
also, should drop a bomb at the funeral too, 100s for the price of one.
It’s a shame the IDF didn’t cluster bomb that gathering.
The world will be better without any moslem hoard.
Of course it's Reuters. So they're trying to memory hole what exactly happened in October 2023 (Oct 7 attacks against Israeli citizens) that started "Israel's war in Gaza against the Palestinian militant group Hamas".
The Houthis picked the wrong side. Just like the Ottoman Empire did in WW1.
Amongst peer nations there is mutually assured destruction. Do we really want the Chinese trying to kill our leaders? We may have more capability but we are also softer targets.
<< the Houthi slogan “God is Great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam”, >>
Houthi slogan? Seems jihadi boilerplate to me.
Does it change your view that that group of thugs are not recognized as the government of Yemen? In that vein, I read a couple months back that the legitimate government in exile was preparing an assault to try to retake the capital, but I haven’t heard anything about that recently
Target rich is the term you are looking for.
why not? i want xi dead
I suspect there are some CCP high-ups that are thinking the same.
Where’s the targe….. I mean Mosque? Asking for a friend.
“”to watch a televised speech recorded by top Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi””
Apparently felt safe to speak in a TV studio but not to speak in public!
The hoodoos vow revenge, like they weren’t doing their utmost already?
<< Apparently felt safe to speak in a TV studio >>
This should have disabused him of that notion: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=frDfB3wPwHk&pp=ygUWYm9tYiBpbiBpcmFuIHR2IHN0dWRpbw%3D%3D
My thoughts exactly.
They needed killin’!
The root cause of the problems the world is having with Yemen, Gaza and Iran as well as in Western Europe is militant Islam. Either some brave Muslim needs to nail his 95 theses to mosque door sparking a Reformation of Islam or Islam could well be exterminated as an ideology for the same reasons Nazism was wiped out.
Daisycutter time.
I know. These damned Houthis get all the press while the Blowfish go forgotten.
