Germany’s interior minister on Thursday announces raids in seven of the country’s regions on an Islamist association suspected of links to Lebanon’s Shiite Hezbollah terror group.

“At a time when numerous Jews feel particularly threatened,” Germany will “tolerate neither Islamist propaganda nor antisemitic incitement hostile to Israel,” Nancy Faeser says, adding that the police raids targeted the Hamburg Islamic Center and five affiliated groups.
