Mossad gave Berlin intel on Hezbollah ahead of German ban, report

Israel’s Mossad spy agency shares information to Germany on Hezbollah’s activities on its soil, ahead of the country to outlaw the actions of the Lebanese terror group, N12 News reported Saturday.

On Thursday, the German government proscribed the entirety of the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah as a “Shi’ite terrorist organization,” banning both their political and military wings from operating on its soil. The German police and special forces raid mosques across the country searching for members of the Hezbollah organization.

The TV report added that Israel collected data, explicit evidence, and proven legal involvement, included Hezbollah’s cash network, worth millions of dollars, and helped locate ammunition depots in Germany.  The Mossad presented its findings to German intelligence and law agencies.

“The heads of services must present which ties the organization to clear terror activity, and that is what we did,” an Israeli official told  Channel 12 News. “Bruno Kahl, the head of the German intelligence organization BND, is a close friend of Mossad,” he added.
