Germany officially announced that it has outlawed activities by the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah.
In a dramatic shift from Merkel’s previous policy, which was based on the European Union’s stance, the new ban does not differentiate between the group’s military and political wings.
Police conducte raids in Germany to detain suspected members of the terrorist group.
Authorities estimate that 1,050 people living in the country are affiliated with the terrorist organization.
Every year thousands of Muslims take to the streets of London, Paris, Rome, Berlin and other major cities in Europe, to declare loyalty to Hezbollah (Allah's army).
They call it "Al Quds Day March", a Muslim holiday that was founded by the leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Hezbollah is an Islamic terrorist organisation, with an antisemitic ideology, an arsenal of missiles pointing at Israel, a history of terror attacks on Jewish targets in the West, and links to organised crime. The meaning of the name Hezbollah is "an army of Allah".
Iran has armed Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria with hundreds of thousands of long-range missiles.

I applaud the German govt for the decision to designate Hezbollah a terror organization. In my conversations with @HeikoMaas he promised to help & I thank him. I call on other European countries & the EU to do the same. Hezbollah is a terror organization & must be treated as such
