(Jerusalem Post) The Jerusalem Post can reveal that the domestic intelligence agency for Germany’s most populous state North Rhine-Westphalia tracked a rise of Hezbollah members last year.
According to the June report, the number of Hezbollah members increased from 110 in 2018 to 115 in 2019.
The report defines loyalists to the US- and German-designated Hezbollah terrorist movement as “members, followers or supporters.”
The intelligence document said that “a consistent stance against Hezbollah and its goals as well as the further exposure of the structures it uses is therefore a necessity for internal security in North Rhine-Westphalia.”
