Washington sanctions 21 Hezbollah-linked entities

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced sanctions against 21 entities and individuals linked to Hezbollah, including five institutions and 16 individuals. The aim is to reduce the party's sources of funding and disrupt its financial networks, particularly through the "Al-Qard Al-Hassan" institution and "Bayt al-Mal," which are used for transferring money and managing assets illegally. The sanctions also targeted officials and financial companies that provide financial cover for the party's activities, in order to prevent terrorism financing and protect financial stability in Lebanon.
