The White House said the US strikes in Yemen at the beginning of this month killed an expert on the Houthis missile. However, the US military still has to confirm death and the identity of Houthi commander remains unclear.
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said CBS News this weekend after March 15, he said that the first wave killed “their head racket”. He also mentioned killing in a private text chat that the Atlantic revealed last week. He wrote, “The first goal – their highest missile guy – we had a positive ID that he had entered the building of his girlfriend and now it is collapsed.”
On Monday on Monday, President Donald Trump said that Houthi had been “decimated” “tireless” strikes since 15 March and said that US forces “hit them every day and night – harder and harder”.
What did the US Army say?
Meanwhile, sources close to US officials told Reuters that they did not know about any independent US military confirmation that such a person was killed. It is unusual that the Pentagon does not confirm the announcement of the White House of military operation.

When the White House was asked for a strike, he directed Reuters to the US Army. However, the army refused to confirm the death or provide the person’s name, although it was asked several times a week.
Houthi representatives were not available for expressing because of the holiday of Muslim Eid al-Fitr.
Who could be killed on the strike?
According to the Democracy Defense Foundation, the Think tank based in Washington, Abdul Khalq Badruddin al-Houthi is “defacto commander of strategic missile forces”.
Mohammed Albasha, whose Basha reports that the counseling company Risks examines information about the open source code about Yemen, has received Houths of more than 40 houthi fighters killed in action in aerial strikes in March.
So far, no one as a senior like Abdul Khalq Badruddin al-Houthi has been identified, nor is he aware of any death announced on television Houthi of a person whose profile would be for the individuals mentioned.
Nevertheless, Houthis immediately do not identify their dead, and the leaders of missile forces are considered “secrets”, he warned.

On the first day, American officials themselves said they were killed by the leader Huthi, while the Ministry of Rebel’s health said that 53 people were killed.
Since then, the rebels have announced the continuing targeting of US military ships and Israel.
