Israeli group demands that Twitter shuts down Hezbollah account - BlogPost - The Washington Post

Israeli group demands that Twitter shuts down Hezbollah account - BlogPost - The Washington Post: "The Hezbollah Twitter account with which Shurat HaDin has a problem, @almanarnews, represents a Lebanese satellite television station affiliated with Hezbollah, and shares a variety of links with its nearly 8,000 followers.

Its most recent tweets in English spoke about Iran’s plan to test long-range missiles, a bomb attack in Afghanistan on civilians, and Russia’s declaration that the Arab League’s visit to Syria was “reassuring.”

The Middle East Forum describes Al-Manar News this way: “Calling itself the ‘station of resistance,’ al-Manar has become an integral part of Hezbollah's plan to reach the entire Arab and Muslim worlds.”"
