 The United States of America has allocated a financial reward of five million dollars for anyone who provides information on a leader close to the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, who is involved in transferring large sums of money to the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen.

 On Sunday, the US State Department's Rewards for Justice Program published on its Twitter account a picture and information about the wanted person, "Khalil Youssef Harb."

The US State Department said: Khalil Youssef Harb is a prominent leader in the Lebanese "Hezbollah", and he is a close advisor to Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, as he supervised the organization's military operations in many countries in the Middle East.

Harb is also a link with other terrorist groups, as he transferred large sums of money to the allies of the Lebanese "Hezbollah" organization in Yemen, according to the tweet.

Khalil Youssef Harb played a key role in the operations of the Lebanese Hezbollah organization and worked to strengthen the organization's relations with other terrorist groups.

In August 2013, the US Treasury designated Harb as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224.
