The War On The Rocks website published a report revealing the increased death toll of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah in Yemen, despite the media blackout imposed by Tehran and Hezbollah.
The report spoke about a failed attempt by a commander of
the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRG) in Yemen to infiltrate into the Saudi
border in March, taking advantage of a sandstorm that covered the south-west of
the kingdom and led to the closure of schools and government centers due to
lack of vision so one of IRG and 52 from Houthis equipped with Katyusha
launchers went from Saada province to Asir region, with the aim of carrying out
a series of raids.
The attackers used the rockets to attack the border town
Dhahran Aljanob before they went to control of the border post of Alab after
controlling the command center which the group's engineers detonated . The
Saudi response was swift as Saudi aircraft killed an officer in the
Revolutionary Guards, 40 Houthis and wounding 12 in addition to destroying all
vehicles and rocket launchers .
The writer says that "The slain IRGC commander, “Abu
Ali,” was known for leading prior Houthi raids against Saudi Arabia and
providing training and operational supervision for the Hussein Brigades, an
elite Houthi ground unit in northern and central Yemen."
The web site specialized in covering war and conflict,
refers to the role of the Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah and at the same
time the increasing human losses on the Yemeni arena.
The Iranian adventure in Yemen can be understood by
analyzing its strategy, rocket attacks, training programs, logistical support,
supplies and naval operations in the past two years, the report says.
According to the researcher, the Iranian supply operations
in Yemen are under pressure as the Arab coalition has continued to supply arms
across the sea and has taken control of three ports and a archipelago of
islands used by Iran to store and smuggle weapons to the Houthis.
