Foreign companies in Israel should leave “before it is too late,” Houthi (Ansarallah) Leader Mahdi al-Mashat warned on Saturday, after confirming an Israeli strike killed Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi and several ministers.

The strike hit a government workshop in Sanaa on August 28, according to Houthi-run authorities. Al-Mashat later appointed Mohammed Muftah as acting Prime Minister.

In a video statement, al-Mashat vowed retaliation, saying that state institutions would keep operating despite the losses. Tying the killings to Gaza, he emphasized the leaders’ blood would be “fuel” for further support to Palestinians.
