Canadian entities named in sanctions against Hizballah. “Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating a network of 16 individuals and entities led by Hizballah financier and former public investment official Alaa Hassan Hamieh (Alaa Hamieh). Alaa Hamieh oversees a network of companies, controlled through family members and close associates, that launder and raise funds for Hizballah’s finance team. These individuals and companies—located in Lebanon, Syria, Poland, Slovenia, Qatar, and Canada—have been involved in numerous economic projects and are estimated to have enabled the diversion of over $100 million since 2020. Raoof Fadel (Fadel) is involved in numerous projects with Alaa Hamieh and the Hizballah finance team, including with Hizballah finance team members Muhammad Al-Bazzal and Rashid Al-Bazzal. Fadel is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Hizballah-associated Seven Seas for International Trading and Logistics, which is the Canadian branch of Alaa Hamieh's similarly named Lebanese companies.”

By cutting off these financial channels, the United States is taking steps to limit Hizballah’s ability to generate revenue for terrorism and evade sanctions. state.gov/releases/offic…
