Earlier today, Brigadier General Said Saleh Ben Maili, commander of the 1st Special Tasks Brigade of the IDF in Marib, was killed while he was in a van. Gunmen intercepted Ben Maili in al-Mahta district of al-Wadi district and opened fire on him several times before fleeing. Ben Maili was both a tribal leader and a PLC commander, and the assassination was apparently the result of a tribal conflict rather than an attack by the Houthis.
