REPORT: Bahrain deports Lebanese nationals belonging or supporting Hezbollah

Bahrain's Interior Ministry declared on Monday that several Lebanese nationals were deported after it was confirmed that they belong to or support Hezbollah.

 

The declaration came via Twitter without identifying the deported Lebanese nationals or giving any additional details.

 

The Arab League on Friday formally branded Hezbollah group a terrorist organization, a move that raises concerns of deepening divisions among Arab countries and ramps up the pressure on the Shiite group, which is fighting on the side of President Bashar Assad in Syria.

The decision came during a foreign ministers' meeting of the Arab League at the organization's seat in Cairo.
