OFAC Sanctions Hezbollah Financial Facilitators

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week sanctioned three people who it said helped to funnel tens of millions of dollars from Iran to Hezbollah this year, which allowed the terror group to "support its paramilitary forces, rebuild its terrorist infrastructure, and resist the Lebanese government’s efforts to assert sovereign control over all Lebanese territory." The designations target Hezbollah member Ossama Jaber, as well as Ja’far Muhammad Qasir and Samer Kasbar, who help manage Hezbollah's finances.
