Hezbollah’s television station Al-Manar said that most of the Twitter accounts associated with the station were suspended.

The accounts in English, French and Spanish were said to be suspended, but the Twitter handles of specific television shows seemed to be working, the news agency AFP reported.

“There is no place on Twitter for illegal terrorist organisations and violent extremist groups,” a Twitter spokesperson told AFP.

Hezbollah was part of the last government in Lebanon, but it is listed as a terrorist organisation in the United States, Israel and several other countries. Its military wing specifically is designated as a terror group by the European Union.

Meanwhile, Twitter also suspended Hamas-affiliated accounts in English and Arabic, according to reports. The United States and Israel also classify Hamas as a terror organisation.

“Kudos to @Twitter for suspending the accounts of terror groups #Hezbollah and #Hamas. Internationally recognised terror groups should never have a platform for their violent extremism,” Jonathan Conricus, international spokesperson for the Israel Defence Forces tweeted.
