After being hit by many intercontinenatal ballistic missiles coming from Houthi terrorists in Yemen, Israel has retaliated by taking out their Prime Minister and other ministers, their connection to Iran who has been supplying them with orders and arms.
Aug 30 (Reuters) - The prime minister of Yemen's Houthi-run government and several other ministers were killed in an Israeli strike on the capital Sanaa, the head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council said on Saturday, in the first such attack to kill senior officials. Sources confirmed to Reuters that the energy, foreign and information ministers were among those killed.
Mahdi al-Mashat, is a Yemeni politician and military officer who serves as the chairman of the Supreme Political Council, the executive body of the Houthi movement.
A number of others were wounded in Thursday's strike, Mahdi al-Mashat added, without providing details. The Houthis are an arm of Iran.
Mashat's statement did not make clear whether the Houthi defence minister was among the casualties. 
Former Deputy, Al-Allamah Muhammed Miftah assumes the duty of Prime Minister of Yemen following the now Martyring of Al-Rahawi.
Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahawi was appointed as prime minister a year ago, but the de- facto leader of the government was his deputy, Mohammed Miftah, who was assigned on Saturday to carry out the prime minister's duties.
Rahawi was seen largely as a figurehead who was not part of the inner circle of the Houthi leadership.
Yemen has been split between a Houthi administration in Sanaa and a Saudi-backed government in Aden. 
The Houthis released footage showing the Eternity C sinking after it was hit by rocket-propelled grenades
Since Israel's war in Gaza against the Palestinian militant group Hamas began in October 7, 2023, the Iran-aligned Houthis have attacked vessels in the Red Sea in what they describe as acts of solidarity with the Palestinians. Yes, the Houthi rebels from Yemen continue to attack vessels in the Red Sea with drones and missiles, claiming their actions are in protest of Israel's war in Gaza. Recent attacks in July 2025 included the sinking of two Greek-owned cargo ships, the Magic Seas and the Eternity Sea, with several crew members killed and others taken hostage or rescued. These attacks are a resurgence of Houthi maritime operations and have significantly impacted global shipping, diverting trade to longer routes around the Cape of Good Hope.
Yemen's Houthi rebels have once again targeted maritime traffic in the Red Sea, sinking the Liberian-flagged cargo vessel Eternity C. The attack resulted in at least three crew fatalities, with only six out of the 25 crew members rescued so far. The Houthis have been carrying out assaults on shipping in the Red Sea, framing their campaign as support for the Palestinians amid the ongoing Israeli-Hamas conflict.
New ballistic missile, which they said took about 11 minutes to travel that distance from Yemen to Israel, a new type of hypersonic missile, and the incident led to a strong response from Israel, including airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
They have also frequently fired missiles towards Israel, most of which have been intercepted. Israel has responded with strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, including the vital Hodeidah port.
During the last year, Israel carried out a series of assassinations targeting senior leaders and commanders of Hamas and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah, significantly weakening both groups..
On Thursday, Israeli security sources had said the targets had been various locations where a large number of senior Houthi officials had gathered to watch a televised speech recorded by leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi.
Khaled Mashal born 28 May 1956) age 69, is a Palestinian politician who served as the second chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau from 1996 until May 2017, when he was succeeded by Ismail Haniyeh. He has also covered duties as the acting leader of Hamas twice, from July 2024 until August 2024 and since October 2024, after both leaders were assassinated by Israel. He has been living in Qatar. You can believe that he is best friends with the head of Qatar. The head of state and government in Qatar is the Emir, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. He has reigned as the Emir since June 25, 2013, succeeding his father, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
"Our stance remains as it is and will remain until the aggression ends and the siege is lifted, no matter how great the challenges," Mashat said in a televised speech, adding that the group "shall take revenge."
Who's next to step up to the plate and become a martyr?
