Israel attempted to assassinate the top military commander of Yemen’s Houthi rebels, Mohammed Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, in Sanaa, multiple Arabic-language news outlets reported late on Saturday.
The outcome of the strike remains unknown, including whether al-Ghamari was killed or who else may have been present at the time. Some reports suggest the strike may have hit a gathering of senior Houthi officials.
A Yemeni security official has told Ynet that al-Ghamari is also the head of the Houthis’ missile program.
Saudi-based Al Hadath reported that the strike targeted a residential complex housing Houthi leaders near the Lebanese Hospital, just south of al-Sabeen Square in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. The area is known for hosting large weekly demonstrations against Israel. Initial information indicates the meeting may have included Mahdi al-Mashat, president of the Houthis’ Supreme Political Council.
Sky News Arabia also cited Yemeni sources saying that al-Ghamari was the intended target, though his death has not been confirmed. The same sources reported that the strike targeted a meeting of the Houthi Supreme Military Council.
