He was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Thursday in the capital, Sana.Credit...Mohammed Huwais\/Agence France-Presse \u2014 Getty ImagesBy Aaron Boxerman and Ismaeel NaarAaron Boxerman reported from Jerusalem, and Ismaeel Naar from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Aug. 30, 2025Israel killed the prime minister of the Houthi-controlled government in Yemen, Ahmed al-Rahawi, in an attack this past week that hit the capital, Sana, a Houthi spokesman said on Saturday. He was the most senior official in the Iranian-backed militant group to be killed in the conflict so far.In a statement, the Houthi government said that a number of Mr. al-Rahawi\u2019s colleagues were also killed and wounded, without naming them. It said Israel had attacked while they had gathered in Sana for a government workshop on Thursday afternoon.The killing of Mr. al-Rahawi was unlikely to cripple the Houthis, given that his role in the group was largely symbolic and power is concentrated in the hands of its leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi. Yet it marked an escalation in Israel\u2019s efforts to stop Houthi missile attacks.Soon after the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that ignited the war in Gaza, the Houthis began firing missiles and drones at Israeli cities. The group, which has ruled much of northwestern Yemen since a civil war a decade ago, says its attacks are in solidarity with Hamas and their Palestinian allies.Houthi fighters have also fired on ships passing by in the Red Sea in what they call an effort to enforce a blockade on Israel, even though many of the boats targeted had no clear ties to the country. The attacks have disrupted global trade, often forcing ships to reroute.Want to stay updated on what\u2019s happening in Israel and Yemen?

But the sorties failed to quell the Houthis\u2019 attacks, which the group says will continue until Israel ends its military campaign in Gaza.Like Hamas, the Houthis are backed by Iran, Israel\u2019s regional archnemesis. During the war in Gaza, Israel has fought several Iranian-supported armed groups around the Middle East, and engaged in 12 days of direct fighting with Iran in June.The Houthi ideology is reflected in the slogan on the group\u2019s flag: \u201cGod is great, death to America, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam.\u201d Once a group of poorly organized rebels, the Houthis now rule over most of Yemen\u2019s population.Israel\u2019s defense minister, Israel Katz, had threatened to assassinate senior Houthi officials before \u2014 including its leader, Mr. al-Houthi \u2014 should they continue firing at Israel. But they had yet to successfully carry that out until this past week. The Houthi government confirmed Mr. al-Rahawi\u2019s death in a statement circulated on its official channels on Saturday. The statement vowed that the militant group would continue \u201cour noble stance of supporting and aiding the people of Gaza.\u201d The group quickly announced that Mohammed Muftah, a deputy to Mr. al-Rahawi, had been appointed acting prime minister.A veteran Houthi official, Mr. al-Rahawi had several roles in local government before being named to the powerful Supreme Political Council in 2019.
