A source in the Ansar Allah ranks blamed "US-Israeli agents" for masterminding the murder.

Axar.az reports citing Tass that the brother of Yemeni Ansar Allah (Houthi) insurgents’ leader Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi has been killed in Yemen.

A source in the Ansar Allah ranks announced that "treacherous and traitorous actions" led to Ibrahim Badreddin al-Houthi’s assassination, accusing the "US-Israeli agents" of the murder. The Houthis added that "they will spare no effort to persecute and punish the enemies guilty of Ibrahim Badreddin al-Houthi’s death."

The armed confrontation between government forces and Ansar Allah groups has been ongoing in Yemen since August 2014, reaching the most active phase in March 2015 after the Saudi-led coalition invaded the country.
