According to the announcement of the Yemeni Minister of Information, Hezbollah's adviser is 35-year-old Akram a-Sayed.
He said the same senior was killed in a shelling by the southern army on the front of Umm Rish.
The minister noted that his death was a painful blow to the Tehran regime and ethnic militias, and another indication of Iran's role in the war.
The minister said that a senior Hezbollah figure entered Yemen in August 2017 as part of a group of terrorists belonging to the organization.
He claims that he was sent on December 3 this year with a number of Hezbollah advisers to the battlefield in an ambush in order to lead Iran's actions and plans to escalate the pace of clashes in the province.

In addition, it was noted that the Hezbollah adviser was killed along with a senior Houthi named Abu Ashraf al-Assadi and eight other militia fighters.
According to the minister, the councilor's body was evacuated by boat to the al-Juba area before being transferred to its northern marching district.
This district is under the control of the Houthi militia.
Instead, according to the information minister, dozens of advisers and fighters of Iran and Hezbollah were secretly buried.
Against this background, the Minister called on Lebanon to take a firm stand against the continued involvement of Hezbollah in Yemen.
