Davidson: THAAD not enough to contain Chinese aggression\">top military commander<\/a>, Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Ghomari, who was killed in an airstrike described as an &#8220;Israeli-American&#8221; operation.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took responsibility for the assassination, emphasizing Israel&#8217;s commitment to targeting those who threaten its security. The killing triggered outrage among Houthi supporters in Yemen, who held rallies to honour Ghomari. Following his death, Maj. Gen. Yousef al-Madani was appointed as his successor. This event is part of a broader series of targeted killings against Houthi officials by Israel, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >recent major bombing campaign<\/a> against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-backed-rebels-advance-towards-yemeni-oil-fields\/\" title=\"Iran-backed rebels advance towards ...i oil fields\">houthi military<\/a> and intelligence infrastructure. The strikes are viewed as retaliation for a Houthi drone attack on the Israeli town of Eilat, which injured civilians. Amid these tensions, the Houthis have indicated a willingness to stand down following an Israel-Hamas ceasefire but warned they will resume hostilities if Israeli aggression continues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Top Houthi military leader killed in Yemen by &lsquo;Israeli-American&rsquo; airstrike<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2215769\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/houthis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Houthi militia leaders<\/a> are now acknowledging the death of their top military commander, though the timing of his death has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>Maj.
