Israel's Killing of Yemen's Houthi PM May Expand Regional War

Thousands of mourners attended a funeral for 12 senior Houthi figures in Yemen's capital of Sana'a on Monday after they were killed by Israel in an airstrike last week. The dead included the Houthi prime minister, Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi. The Houthis have ruled the capital and much of northern Yemen for over a decade. For the last two years, Houthi fighters have regularly launched missiles at Israel and attacked ships in the Red Sea in what they described as actions in solidarity with Gaza.
