BRUSSELS (AP) ? The European Union has declared the military wing of Lebanese party Hezbollah a terrorist group.
A French diplomat says that the Monday decision by the EU's 28 foreign ministers was reached unanimously. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
The Iranian-backed group plays a pivotal role in Lebanese politics, dominating the government since 2011, and has since sent its members to bolster Syria's President Bashar Assad forces in their assault of rebel-held areas.
