The Houthis have confirmed that their Military Chief of Staff, Muhammad Abd Al-Karim al-Ghamari, who was wounded in an Israeli airstrike, succumbed to his wounds.
The IDF confirmed the elimination, stating: "Following an IDF strike targeting senior members of the Houthi terror regime on August 28th, 2025, it is now confirmed that the Houthi Chief of the General Staff, Muhammad al-Ghamari, was eliminated."
Al-Ghamari was appointed Chief of Staff in 2016 after holding a series of senior positions in the Houthi terror regime. Over the years, he played a key role in building the military capabilities of the Houthi terror regime, particularly in establishing its missile systems and weapons-production infrastructure.
As part of his role, al-Ghamari received training by terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organization and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) organizations in Syria, Lebanon, and Iran.
According to the IDF, "The elimination of the Houthi General Chief of Staff represents a severe blow to the Houthi terror regime and to its chain of command, which orchestrated hundreds of terror attacks against the State of Israel during the war."
Israel had attacked large concentrations of Houthi officials on multiple occasions, but the Chief of Staff reportedly escaped each time.
