Yemen’s Houthi militants vowed to step up attacks against Israel and its allies in response to strikes on the capital Sanaa that killed the prime minister and at least nine members of his cabinet.
“We won’t back down,” Mohammed Muftah, who was appointed acting premier of the Houthi government after the assassination of Ahmed Ghalib Al-Rahwi, said in a video message ahead of a funeral for the slain officials on Monday. The whole “Zionist system” is responsible for the deadly assault, including the US and Western-allied Arab countries that have normalized diplomatic ties with Israel, he said during the service.
