Israel targets Houthi Chief in Yemen strike
Israel attempted to assassinate Mohammed Abdul Karim al-Ghamari, Chief of Staff of the Houthi forces, in a strike inside Yemeni territory. It remains unclear whether al-Ghamari was hit or who else was present at the time of the attack.
The operation followed an earlier evacuation order issued by the Israeli military for the ports of Ras Issa, Hodeidah, and As-Salif. Military spokesperson Avichay Adraee labeled the sites 'active threats,' urging individuals to vacate the areas without delay.

Details regarding the scale or impact of the strikes have not yet been disclosed. The Houthis are yet to comment on the incident.
The warning came as Houthis launched on Friday a missile and drone barrage, which targeted Ben Gurion Airport and a strategic location in Yaffa. That attack followed earlier Israeli air raids on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, which hit strategic infrastructure including the international airport, power grids, and industrial complexes.
Houthis have maintained a campaign of missile and drone attacks against Israel, which the group claims are in response to Israel's ongoing war in Gaza that killed over 61,709 civilians and injured more than 111,588.

According to a statement by Houthi military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, three drones were deployed—two aimed at military installations in Jaffa and Ashkelon, and a third directed at Haifa port.
