German police launched a major operation on Thursday, with 54 searches in seven regions, against an Islamist center suspected of supporting the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, the Interior Ministry announced.
“At a time when many Jews feel particularly threatened, we do not tolerate Islamist propaganda or anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli campaigns,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said in a statement.
The police operation targets the “Hamburg Islamic Center” and five other organizations suspected of being linked to it. Germany considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization and banned its activities in the country in April 2020.
