Last Jew in Yemen Who Refused to Leave Dies and is Buried by Local Arabs
I'm wondering if Satmar Chassidim will make his grave a shrine since he refused to go to Israel!
Last Thursday, Yehia Ben Yosef, one of the last remaining Jews in Yemen who refused to leave, passed away.
Local non-Jewish residents buried him.

Unfortunately he was not the last Jew in Yemen. There were girls who were kidnapped and forced into marriage (one to a Houthi)...and their children are Jewish.
Do you mean the last Jew in Houthi rebel controlled land? Weren't a bunch of Yidden evacuated to a guarded compound in the government controlled south?
