yemeni houthi prime minister killed in israeli airstrike in sanaa
Houthis confirm death of PM Ahmed al-Rahawi along with several ministers in Israeli strike.
On August 28, 2025, an Israeli airstrike struck a government workshop and an adjacent apartment in Houthi controlled Sanaa, killing Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb alRahawi and several ministers, according to a statement issued by the Houthis on August 30. AlRahawi, who had served as the head of the socalled ‘Government of Change and Construction’ since August 2024, was attending a routine workshop at the time of the raid. The Israeli military confirmed conducting a precision strike targeting Houthi military infrastructure in the area but did not explicitly confirm the death of alRahawi. The loss marks a significant blow to the Houthi leadership’s structure and signals a further escalation in regional conflict dynamics amid ongoing tensions linked to the Gaza war.
