Group announced on Saturday (30) the death of Ahmad Ghaleb Al Rahwi, ‘Head of Government’, and ‘several of his ministers’
Yemen’s Huitis rebels threatened on Saturday (30) to take revenge after the death of their “prime minister” and several members of their cabinet in the bombing on Thursday against the capital. Supported by Iran, the rebels have controlled large areas of the country – which has been through a civil war since 2014 – including the capital, Saná, where they installed their political institutions. The internationally recognized Yemeni government has its headquarters in Aden, the Great City of the South.
The rebels announced on Saturday, in a widespread statement on his channel Al Masirah, the death of Ahmad Ghaleb Al Rahwi, “head of government”, and “several of his ministers, in the attack perpetrated on Thursday by the Israeli enemy while meeting in Saná.” According to the text, “several of his colleagues were injured, some in serious condition.”
“We promise God, the beloved Yemeni people and the families of the martyrs and wounded that we will take revenge,” said Mehdi Al Machat, head of the Supreme Political Council, in a video message on Telegram. In addition, he summoned “all companies [estrangeiras] present in the occupant entity [Israel, ndr]”They come out” before it’s too late. “
In a statement, the Hutis announced the appointment of Mohammed Ahmad Muftah as “interim prime minister” to succeed Ahmad Ghaleb Al Rahwi, who had been appointed in August 2024.
The Israeli army confirmed on Saturday that it attacked an Yemen installation that housed “high military responsible and other high employees of the Huti terrorist regime.” Prime Minister Ahmed Al Rahawi was killed in bombing, “as well as other responsible” Hutis, according to the military statement.
