Jerusalem Security

My Way News - EU declares Hezbollah's military wing terror group
My Way News reports: "The European Union placed the military wing of Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militant group and political party, on its terror list Monday in a major policy change toward the Middle East. [...] The action came after prolonged diplomatic pressure from the United States, the Netherlands and Israel, which consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization. [...] Israel also welcomed the European decision. It fought a bitter monthlong war with Hezbollah in 2006, and has accused Hezbollah of carrying out attacks on Jewish and Israeli targets around the world."

Comment: Hezbollah is also a major Iranian proxy, it will be interesting to see how Tehran reacts.
