Twelve flag-draped coffins moved through Sanaa as Iran-backed Houthi terrorists buried senior officials—including Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi (also transliterated al-Rahwi)—killed in an Israeli strike last week.
Footage and wire photos from the procession show mass crowds and an honor guard carrying the caskets.
The strike targeted the group’s chief of staff, defense minister, and other top operatives. The fate of Defense Minister Mohamed al-Atifi remains unclear, while Mohammed Miftah emerged as acting head in Sanaa, using the funeral to vow “revenge” and a domestic spy hunt—underscoring a regime on its heels and hunting leaks.
Hours around the funeral, the Houthis fired a missile at the Israeli-owned tanker Scarlet Ray near Yanbu; the ship wasn’t hit and the crew is safe—classic signaling after a leadership shock. The same authorities also raided U.N. offices in Sanaa and detained at least 11 staffers, tightening internal control as they posture externally.
