Ahmed al-Rahawi, the Prime Minister of Yemen’s Houthi-led government, has been killed in an Israeli attack. Al-Rahawi had led the Houthi cabinet since 2024, playing a central role in the Iranian-backed group’s leadership during a time of heightened conflict. His death marks a significant development in the ongoing hostilities between the Houthis and Israel.
What This Means for the Region
Despite the loss of their prime minister, the Houthis are expected to continue their missile attacks on Israel. The group, which receives support from Iran, has shown resilience in the face of leadership changes and military strikes. Experts believe that al-Rahawi’s killing is unlikely to halt their aggressive tactics.
The incident underscores the intensifying conflict in the Middle East, with both sides escalating their military actions. The death of a high-profile leader like al-Rahawi may further inflame tensions and provoke additional confrontations in the region.
