Houthis confirm killing of military chief Mohammed al-Ghamari in Israeli strikes
Israel said Mohammed al-Ghamari died of his wounds following an Israeli strike in Sanaa. X

Amid the brewing tensions in West Asia, Yemen’s Houthis announced that their military chief of staff, Mohammed al-Ghamari, was killed in an Israeli attack. While the statement released by the group gave no details about the incident, it noted that Ghamari and his teenage son died during what it described as the “honourable battle against the Israeli enemy”.

The statement came after the Israeli military carried out rounds of strikes over Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) argued that the strikes were conducted in response to repeated Houthi drone and missile attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping linked to the Gaza war.

In a separate statement, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Ghamari “died of wounds” he sustained in an Israeli air strike in Yemen’s capital Sanaa in late August, which also killed the Houthi government’s prime minister and other ministers. “Another chief of staff in the line of terror chiefs who aimed to harm us was eliminated,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. “We will reach all of them.”

‘Source of pride’

The group declared the deaths of its top leaders as a ‘source of pride’. The Houthi statement published on Thursday acknowledged that “a large number of great martyrs, both civilians and military personnel”, were killed during what it called the “criminal American-Zionist aggression against the country” over the past two years.

“The martyred leader, Major General Mohammed Abdul Karim al-Ghamari, along with some of his companions and his martyred son, Hussein, aged 13, ascended as a blessed martyr in the course of his jihadist work and the fulfilment of his religious duty,” it added in the statement obtained by the BBC. The group went on to pledge to avenge these deaths.

“The rounds of conflict with the enemy have not ended, and the Zionist enemy will receive its deterrent punishment for the crimes it has committed,” it warned. In his X post, Katz wrote that Ghamari had joined “his thwarted comrades of the Axis of Evil in the depths of hell”. “We have worked hard against the Houthis to remove significant threats - and we will do so against any threat in the future as well,” he added.

It is pertinent to note that the Israeli military has not yet reported any Houthi missile or drone attacks since Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of the ceasefire deal proposed by US President Donald Trump. The Houthis’ leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, has said the group will remain ready to act against Israel if it fails to comply with the agreement.
