US designates son of Hezbollah leader as ‘global terrorist’
The US State Department declares Jawad Nasrallah, the son of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, as a “global terrorist” as it steps up pressure on the Lebanese group.
It calls Jawad a “rising leader” of the group who had in recent years recruited people “to carry out terrorist attacks against Israel in the West Bank.”
The State Department also maintains its 21-year-old “Foreign Terrorist Organization” designation of Hezbollah, as the group battles prime minister-designate Saad al-Hariri for a powerful role in the new Lebanese government.
