What happened
Israel carried out an airstrike in Sana’a that killed Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi, the prime minister of the Houthi-run (Ansar Allah) authority in northern Yemen, along with other senior officials. This is the first strike to kill top Houthi cabinet members. Reuters Al Jazeera

The strike lands on top of an already dire crisis: health systems, ports and water infrastructure in Houthi-controlled areas have been damaged by airstrikes, and Yemen is again facing a major cholera surge. The Washington Post
