SANAA, June 15 (Xinhua) — Israel carried out an airstrike on Sunday night on a house in the Yemeni capital Sanaa where a source close to the Houthis said a “secret meeting of senior Houthi leaders” was taking place.
The house, located in southern Sanaa, was surrounded by Houthi security forces as ambulances rushed to the scene.
Local anti-Houthi media reported on social media that the meeting was chaired by Supreme Political Council head Mahdi al-Mashat and Houthi army chief of staff Abdulkarim al-Ghumari.
Other media reported that the secret meeting was also attended by Houthi top leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, head of the Houthi Supreme Revolutionary Committee Mohammed Ali al-Houthi and Houthi military intelligence chief Abu Ali al-Hakim.
The Houthis have not yet made an official statement.
Residents living near the attack site told Xinhua they saw at least 10 charred bodies at the scene.
The Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have been launching attacks on Israel since November 2023 in solidarity with the Palestinians amid the war in Gaza.
The Houthis strongly condemned Israel’s ongoing attacks on Iran, vowing in a statement to step up attacks on Israel with long-range missiles. -0-
