Aden, Newsyemen:
The Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, admitted the death of one of its most prominent military leaders close to the so-called "Abdulmalik Al-Houthi."
The militia announced the death of the so-called "Ruhollah Zaid Ali Musleh", without specifying the place of his death, but military sources stated that he was killed, along with other leaders, in raids of the Arab coalition in Al-Jawf governorate.
It also acknowledged the killing of Major General Ezzi Salah Mutlaq, known as Abu Salah, Staff of the Sixth Military District, and another leader named Rabea Qasim al-Hashhoush.
"Ruhollah Musleh" hails from the Maran area in Saada governorate, where he is considered one of the most prominent leaders close to the leader of the Houthi militia, as well as the generation of the Houthi hawzas formed by his brother, Hussein al-Houthi.
Last February, the Houthi militia appointed "Ruhollah", the director of military operations in the West Coast, before transferring him to the Al-Jawf and Ma'rib fronts to run military operations, to be killed among hundreds of its members.
It is noteworthy that Ruhollah, is the son of the second man in the militia after Hussein al-Houthi, and the last two were killed in the six Saada wars that were fought - at the time - by the regime of the late President Ali Abdullah Saleh against the Houthi rebellion.
