Ahmed Galeb al-Rahawy, the prime minister of Sanaa’s Yemeni Ansarra-led government, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Yemen’s capital on Thursday.
According to Aljumliya, an anti-Ansalal government channel broadcast from Aden, Ahmed al-Rahawy was hit in an apartment in Beit Bose district. Aden Al Gad’s newspaper had similar explanations, saying that he was killed along with some close associates. Al Rahawi served as prime minister of the Houthis for about a year, and held mostly administrative positions within the unrecognised government.
This is while Israeli regime media reports such claims from UAE-backed media sources. The news comes after the Israeli regime claimed it targeted senior military commanders of the Sana government in a new attack on Yemen.
Last night, officials from Yemeni Ansarrah denied the Israeli regime’s claim that Yemeni military commanders were targeted in Thursday’s airstrikes.
The Israeli regime’s troops attacked Yemen’s capital Sanaa on Thursday. Following the airstrikes, Israeli government media claimed that the commander of the Ansarra government-led military was suffering.
Israeli forces said in a statement that troops on Thursday had attacked military targets in the Sanaa area. There were no immediate reports of victims.
However, Yemen’s official Nasr Al-Din Amer denied reports in Israeli media that the strike targeted Yemeni commanders, including the defense minister and chief of staff.
