ALBAWABA - The Israeli army announced targeting a key ranking Houthi leader in an airstrike in Yemen on Saturday evening. 

On Sunday, an Israeli political source revealed that the Houthi chief of staff was injured in the assassination attempt, which was carried out on June 14, 2025, but his fate is unknown.

Israel announced on Saturday that it had carried out a military operation targeting the Houthi Chief of Staff, Mohammed Abdul Karim al-Ghamari, in the capital, Sanaa. 

Exclusive sources told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that an explosion rocked the Hadda area, south of Sanaa, targeting a number of military leaders of the Ansar Allah group. 

The sources said that the explosion occurred during a secret meeting of prominent military leaders, headed by al-Ghamari, noting that the Houthi group quickly imposed a tight security cordon around the explosion site, while keeping the details secret.

It is worth noting that Al-Ghamari is the second most important figure in the Houthi group and one of its most prominent military leaders, having served as Chief of Staff since December 2016.

Yesterday, Houthis also carried out airstrikes along with Iran against Israel.
