The group's forces said in a statement that "Major General Mohammed Abdul Karim Al-Ghamari was martyred while performing his duty, along with a number of his companions and his martyred son, Hussein (13 years old)," noting that they "were martyred in various raids launched by the criminal American-Zionist aggression on our country, during the two years of the battle to support Gaza."
The group did not reveal further details about the circumstances surrounding al-Ghamari's death, which was announced at a time of relative calm in the region following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that went into effect last Friday.
The statement added that "the aggression over the past two years has resulted in a large number of civilian and military martyrs," including members of the naval, land, and missile forces, in addition to the prime minister and a number of ministers.
The group also stated that it carried out 758 offensive operations against Israel, using 1,835 diverse weapons, including ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles, drones, and warships.
Until 14:00 GMT, no comment has been issued by the Israeli side regarding the Houthis' announcement of the killing of their chief of staff.
In response to the genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza, the Houthis attacked Israel with missiles and drones, and also targeted ships belonging to or bound for Tel Aviv, particularly in the Red Sea.
Since October 7, Israel, with US support, has killed 67,967 Palestinians in Gaza, wounded 170,179, most of them children and women, and caused a famine that claimed the lives of 463 Palestinians, including 157 children.
