The Iran-backed Houthis said sat an Israeli airstrike killed the ground regime minister of the rebel-controlled government in the Yemeni working capital of Sanaa.
Ahmed al-Rahawi died Thursday along with a number of ministers, the rebel group said in a statement.
The Israeli military said it "precisely struck a Houthi terrorist regime military target in the area of Sanaa in Yemen."
Al-Rahawi had been serving as prime minister to the Houthi-led government since August 2024.
According to the statement, he was targeted along with other members of his Houthi-controlled government during a routine workshop, held by the government, to evaluate its activities and performance over the past year.
How the Houthis became major Middle East disruptors
The Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles against Israel throughout that country's war against Hamas in Gaza.
The group says the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians.
Although most of the missiles launched by Yemen are intercepted by Israel, or fragment mid-air, this has done little to deter the attacks.
Earlier in the week, Israeli strikes hit multiple areas across Sanaa, killing at least 10 people and wounding 102 others, according to the Houthi-run Health Ministry and government officials.
