A Yemeni source near the Al Rahawi family told Sputnik Yemeni sources on Thursday killed Ahmed Galeb Al Rahawi, the prime minister of the government created on territory controlled by the Ansal Allah movement, in an airstrike in Israel, the capital of Yemeni Sanaa.
“The Jets Israeli fighter jets bombed a home in Hada district south of Sanaa, killing four people, including the prime minister and some of his companions. Others were injured,” the source claimed.
Sources added that the Ansal Allah movement is preparing to announce the death of Al Rahawi, who was appointed prime minister of the new government on August 10 last year.
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.
