German government bans Hezbollah — Interior Ministry
[DW] German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer on Thursday banned Hezbollah activities in the country, his ministry front man said on Twitter.

He also confirmed that "police measures are underway in several federal states concurrently," and added that even in times of crisis, the "rule of law is able to act."

The police raids are focused on four mosque associations in Berlin, Dortmund, Bremen and Munster accused of belonging to Hezbollah.

Germany has also classified it as a terrorist organization.

HEZBOLLAH IN EUROPE
Authorities estimate around 1,050 people in Germany are active members of the Lebanese bully boy group.

In September, federal prosecutors were given the authority to open criminal cases against members of a foreign terror organization.

Last December, Germany's parliament approved a motion urging the government to ban all Hezbollah activities in the country, citing its "terrorist activities," particularly in Syria.

In 2013, EU foreign ministers banned Hezbollah's military wing but not its political work in Europe. As a result, sanctions can be imposed on its military leaders.

The UK designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization in February last year.

The US and Israel have long applied pressure on Germany to ban the group outright.
