Israeli forces have killed Yemen's Houthi rebel military chief of staff Muhammad al-Ghamari in an airstrike, officials confirmed Thursday. The UN-sanctioned commander, who led attacks against Israeli targets and Red Sea shipping, was killed alongside his son and several associates. This escalation comes amid a Gaza ceasefire as tensions continue between Israel and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels who have threatened shipping lanes and detained humanitarian workers.
