The IAF on Thursday attacked a group of top Houthi military officials in Sanaa who were watching the Houthi leader give a nationally televised speech.
At press time, the results of the attack were still uncertain, but there were increasing indications that the Houthis' defense minister and military chief were killed in the attack, as well as potentially others.
Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir monitored the attack from IDF headquarters, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following from a secure "red phone."

Houthi prime minister said killed in Israeli strike on Sanaa apartment yesterday
[IsraelTimes] Yemen’s Al-Jumhuriya channel reports that the prime minister of the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, Ahmed al-Rahawi, was killed in an apartment in Sanaa during the Israeli strikes yesterday.
The Aden Al-Ghad newspaper adds that Rahawi was killed along with several of his companions.
It appeared from the reports to have been a separate strike from the one yesterday that was said to have targeted 10 senior Houthi ministers, including the defense minister, as they gathered in a location outside of Sanaa to hear a planned speech by the group’s leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi.
The outcome of that strike has yet to be made clear.
