Houthis on Thursday confirmed that the Iran-backed Shia group's Chief of Staff Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari was killed "while fulfilling his duties".
Though Houthis did not directly blame Tel Aviv for al-Ghamari's death, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said he was killed in Israel's strike on Sana'a in August. "We will do the same against any threat in the future as well," he added.

In the strike, Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several other ministers were killed during a workshop reviewing government activities.
Who was Muhammad al-Ghamari?
Al-Ghamari was a member of the Houthis' "Jihad Office", which was led by Abdul Malik al-Houthi. The Jihad Office oversees the Houthi military operations. He was also the Chief of Staff for the Houthi security forces.
Israel has been trying to eliminate al-Ghamari ever since the Houthis launched attacks on the country in solidarity with the Hamas and Hezbollah. He was previously wounded in an Israeli strike in June, but survived.
"He joins his friends, the eliminated members of the Axis of Evil, in the depths of hell," the Israeli defence minister said.
On Thursday, Katz met soldiers and commanders at the Military Intelligence Directorate's Houthi command centre along with its chief, Major General Shlomi Binder. He thanked them for the "excellent work they have done and have yet to do against the Houthis in the future."
