Yemeni Houthi Leader and Multiple Ministers Perish in Israeli Airstrike
In a tragic turn of events, Yemen's Houthi Prime Minister, Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi, was killed in Israeli airstrikes that targeted a government workshop in western Yemen on August 28, 2025. The airstrikes also claimed the lives of several ministers and senior members of the Houthi movement.
The exact number of ministers killed or injured in the airstrikes was not specified in the article published by Al Bawaba, a news organization based in Yemen. However, it was reported that a number of ministers sustained moderate and serious injuries.
The Houthi group announced the martyrdom of Prime Minister al-Rahwi and several ministers, but did not provide specific numbers. The Israeli airstrikes targeted the Prime Minister and a number of his fellow ministers during a routine workshop.
The Houthis emphasized that the blood of the martyrs will be an incentive to continue on the same path. In a show of resilience, the group stated that government institutions will continue their work despite the losses.
Tensions between Israel and the Houthis have been escalating in recent weeks. On August 24, 2025, Israeli air strikes occurred in Yemen's Huthi-held capital Sanaa. This latest incident marks a significant escalation in the conflict.
The exact number of casualties and the extent of the damage caused by the airstrikes are still being assessed. This developing story will be updated as more information becomes available.
