Facebook, Twitter closes Hezbollah accounts


(MENAFN) Facebook and Twitter accounts belonging to Hezbollah have been closed, the Lebanese resistance group said Saturday, Haaretz reported.

Hezbollah said on the Telegram encrypted messaging app that the closures came without warning and were "part of the propaganda campaign against the resistance due to the important role of the organization"s information apparatus in various arenas."

There was no immediate explanation from either Facebook or Twitter on the decision to block the accounts.

Despite the closures, internet users were directed to new and already existing pages associated with Hezbollah, the Ynet news site reported.
