Germany has banned the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah from operating in the country, citing the organization’s anti-Israel stance.
The police early Thursday raided properties belonging to associations linked to Hezbollah in five German cities including Berlin and Dortmund, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. Hezbollah’s military arm has long been banned in Germany, though the group had been allowed to pursue political and social activities.
