UK slaps travel sanctions on Hamas supporter and suspected Hezbollah financier
The British government announces it has imposed a travel ban on Mustafa Ayash, whom it sanctioned earlier this year for promoting terrorism and fundraising for Hamas through the social media channel Gaza Now, and suspected Hezbollah financier Nazem Ahmad.
The pair, who were already subject to asset freezes under domestic counterterrorism powers, now cannot enter Britain, it says.
The UN accused Israel of killing Mustafa Ayash in an airstrike in Gaza last year, but he was later arrested in Austria.
