The US State Department has designated Jawad Nasrallah, son of Lebanon’s Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, as a “global terrorist” and a “rising leader of Hezbollah” and accused him of carrying out attacks against Israel in the occupied West Bank. Also to be blacklisted was Al-Mujahidin Brigades (AMB), which it said had links to Hezbollah and had plotted a number of attacks against Israeli targets from a base in the Palestinian Territories. The department said Nasrallah and AMB had officially been labelled as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) which would deny them access to the US financial system. Later, the State Department announced it was offering up to $5m each for information leading to the locations of Hamas leader Salih al-Aruri, and Lebanese Hezbollah leaders Khalil Yusif Mahmoud Harb and Haytham Ali Tabatabaei, under the agency’s so-called Rewards for Justice Programme, saying that Hamas and Hezbollah receive weapons, training and funding from Iran.
