The Houthi group confirmed Thursday that its chief of staff had been killed in US–Israeli airstrikes on Yemen, Anadolu reports.

In a statement, the group said Major General Muhammad Abdul Karim al-Ghamari was killed, along with his 13-year-old son and a number of colleagues.

The Houthis, however, did not specify when Ghamari was killed.

The group said that it had carried out 758 attacks against Israel since November 2023 since the outbreak of the Gaza war.

There was no comment from Israel on the death of the Houthi chief of staff.

The Houthis and Israel have exchanged attacks in the past months amid rising tensions over Israel’s ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, where nearly 68,000 people have been killed since October 2023. A ceasefire deal took effect in Gaza on Friday.
