Yemeni government officials from the Houthi militia are slain by Israel

In a significant turn of events, the Israeli military, specifically the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), conducted a precise airstrike in Yemen, targeting a facility where numerous senior Houthi figures were present. The attack, which took place recently, resulted in the death of Al-Rahaui and other high-ranking Houthi officials.

The IDF, based on intelligence, targeted a meeting in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, where the Houthi leaders, including the chief of staff and defense minister, were present. This action was a response to threats made by Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, in late 2021, when he vowed to "hunt down" Houthi leaders.

Meanwhile, in Israel, thousands of people have been demanding an end to the Gaza conflict and the release of hostages from Hamas' custody. On "Hostages' Square" in Tel Aviv, protesters assembled, urging the government to agree to a ceasefire and the release of captives. The Forum of Hostages' Families, in a statement, expressed a genuine opportunity to bring the hostages home.

However, a proposal for a ceasefire agreement approved by Hamas is not expected to be on the agenda of the Security Cabinet meeting, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which is set to reconvene today. The Forum of Hostages' Families has criticized the Netanyahu government for prioritizing an endless war over the hostages.

It is important to note that the Houthis, also known as "Ansar Allah," are the strongest force in Yemen, where a civil war has been ongoing since 2014. They control the northern part of the country, and their government in Sanaa is not internationally recognized. The Houthis, officially known as "Ansar Allah," translate to "Supporters of God."

As the situation unfolds, both the international community and the people of Israel continue to watch closely, hoping for a resolution that brings peace and the safe return of hostages.
