A: Hey there! Heard any interesting news lately?
B: Not much, just the usual stuff. What's up?
A: You haven't heard? Some trouble in Yemen, mate. The Houthi rebels say their top officials, even the prime minister, got killed in an Israeli airstrike!
B: Whoa, really?! When did this happen?
A: Yeah, it was Thursday, right in Sanaa, the capital city. They made the announcement on Saturday.
B: I see... And what's their response to this attack?
A: Well, they're vowing to continue supporting and defending Gaza, like always, and they're promising solidarity with Hamas – you know, the Palestinian group fighting Israel in Gaza.
B: Sounds intense. So, any idea why they were targeted?
A: Apparently, they were gathered for a live speech when they got hit. Reuters reported on it.
B: That's crazy... I wonder if this will lead to more conflicts between them and Israel.
A: Absolutely! The Houthi rebels have been firing missiles and drones towards Israel since their offensive in Gaza last October. Now, they're threatening revenge for the killings, which is worrying because it might mean more intense responses from both sides.
