During the war, Israel attempted twice to eliminate the Houthi chief of staff. In the first strike, which targeted Sana'a, he was wounded but survived. The second strike hit a meeting site linked to the Houthi government, which al-Ghamari was believed to have attended. In the days following the attack, the Houthis issued written statements in the name of their chief of staff in an apparent effort to create the impression that he was still alive. Now, the Yemeni terrorist organization has confirmed his death.
