The Houthi rebels have confirmed the killing of Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Ghomari, one of their most senior military commanders. While details about when and how he was killed remain unclear, Israeli authorities have reportedly claimed responsibility, though this has not been officially verified. The incident has sparked immediate reactions, with protests against Israel erupting in the Houthi-controlled capital of Sana’a. The demonstrations have been widespread, with citizens demanding accountability and expressing outrage over the alleged attack.
Al-Ghomari was a key figure in the Houthis’ military operations, and his death is expected to have significant implications for the group’s strategic and operational capabilities. Analysts suggest that the killing may be part of a broader Israeli strategy to weaken the Houthis, who have been a persistent threat in the ongoing Yemeni conflict. The Houthi leadership has not yet issued any formal statements, but the situation is likely to escalate further, especially with the growing unrest in Sana’a. Regional tensions are expected to remain high as both sides continue to maneuver in a complex and volatile geopolitical landscape.
