Yemen’s Houthi movement revealed on Thursday that their Chief of Staff, Muhammad Abd Al-Karim al-Ghamari, a prominent military figure within the Iran-backed group, was killed while performing his duties. The Houthis stopped short of directly accusing Israel of his death but emphasized that their conflict with Israel remains unresolved. They vowed that Israel would face “deterrent punishment” for its alleged crimes. The Houthis have previously launched missile attacks toward Israel, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, most of which were intercepted. In response, Israel has conducted strikes on Houthi-controlled regions in Yemen. The death of al-Ghamari marks a significant moment in the ongoing tensions between the Houthis and Israel, further complicating the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
