The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on August 29 that its attack on Yemen a day earlier targeted the army chief of staff and defense minister of the Houthis (Ansar Allah).
At least ten strikes hit the Yemen capital, Sanaa, which was held by the Houthis during the attack. Later, Hebrew media reports revealed that the IDF had intelligence that the army chief, Muhammad Abd Al-Karim al-Ghamari, was en route to a meeting with senior officials of the group including the defense minister, Mohamed al-Atifi.
According to the reports, the two top officials were the intended targets of the strike, though the military is still awaiting confirmation on the outcome.
Reports from Arab media said that Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi was killed in a separate strike on an apartment in Sanaa.
“This was a complex strike based on intelligence regarding their gathering,” the IDF said. “We exploited a narrow intelligence window to carry out a precise operation.”
The military added that it is preparing for possible retaliation by the Houthis, but stresses that at this stage, this is not based on a concrete warning but rather a general assessment.
Responding to the initial reports of assassinations following the IDF attack, a Houthi defense official told Al-Masirah TV, which is affiliated with the group, that Israel was presenting “conflicting accounts of its aggression and allegations of targeting leaders in the capital, Sanaa.”
Separately, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir hailed the attack on Yemen during a situational assessment on August 29.
“The Houthis operate as an additional terrorist branch of Iran, continue to attack Israel, and threaten regional and international stability. Our message is clear — there will be no tolerance,” he said.
The attack was the sixteenth to be carried out by the IDF against the Houthis. In one of the previous attacks, Israel attempted to assassinate al-Ghamari, but failed. Most of the remaining strikes targeted civilian infrastructure in Houthi-run areas. Still, the group continued to launch attacks in support of the Gaza Strip.
While the results of the latest IDF attack remain unclear, there is no doubt that Israel is now allocating more resources to the confrontation with the Houthis.

there is no disharmony between the lucifer death cult: only theater 🎭 for public manipulation. killing their own for fun and profit is what unites them, along with their mutual hatred of the creator and all believers of every faith.
houthis need to attack these pigs and sons of devils badly. who do they think they are that they attack yemen and iran? they need a harsh lesson to be taught. they and their master usa.
israeli media exists only as a psy op designed to keep israelis mentally enslaved by mass formation psychosis. israel is is only a military base for the rothschild banking empire types to control the worlds oil through currency exchange. the cause of all suffering
international jewish groups are heavily influenced and funded to create this cult type group think insanity. poor gaza suffers. think about all the free brainwashing trips to israel offered globally to jewish children and anyone in a position of power of influence
like the u.s. government in washington d.c.
“israel is is only a military base for the rothschild banking empire types to control the worlds oil through currency exchange.”

what is never changing is the homicidal attitude of zionists. look, just one man died of houthis strikes and these were made just to protect palestinians. instead to stop the killings in gaza, zionists started also those in yemen, together with us and uk stooges. and they aims to be-heading of the leaderships like happened in lebanon, gaza and iran. such a mafia style attitude, not political at all.
you people deserve it.
the houthis aren’t simply a “group” that “was in control of the capital during the attack”. where is sf getting that? the houthis are the government of yemen and are firmly in control of all the country’s most populated and historic land
two words f**k israel ! i am far from alone in this position. rebuke them, sanction them and completely divest internationally.
no, you are all alone. just you and your camel wife with a lot of sand in his vag.
lol jews are getting more desperate
kill a houthi, win a cookie!
