JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia today classified Hashem Safieddine, 53, as a Hezbollah supporter against the backdrop of his responsibility for terrorist operations throughout the Middle East.
Al-Deen, who was born in the city of Sour, also supports the Bashar Assad regime.
Saudi Arabia will continue to combat Hezbollah’s terrorist activities with all available legal tools, and will continue to work with partners around the world to effectively curb Hezbollah’s extremist activities.
Hezbollah has long been spreading chaos and instability through launching terrorist attacks and engaging in criminal and illegal activities around the world.
Saudi Arabia will continue to classify Hezbollah activists, leaders and entities and impose sanctions on them as a result of the classification.
The classification of Al-Deen and the imposition of sanctions against him are based on the terrorist crimes and financing system and the Royal Decree A/44, which targets terrorists and their supporters, where assets of those names classified are frozen, according to Saudi regulations. Citizens and residents in the Kingdom are prohibited to deal with him.

JEDDAH: February skies will offer a variety of astronomical phenomena, giving enthusiasts a chance to track the moon, planets and stars while enjoying spectacular celestial displays.
Jeddah Astronomy Society Director Majed Abu Zahra said observing faint celestial objects during the first week of February was challenging due to bright moonlight, as the full moon occurred on Feb. 1.
He said that on Feb. 2 and 3, the waning gibbous moon passed in front of Regulus, the brightest star in Leo, in a phenomenon known as an occultation.
Additionally, on Feb. 18, the thin crescent moon marking the start of Ramadan will appear between Mercury and Venus shortly after sunset, best viewed from a clear western horizon.
Abu Zahra said that Saturn would make its final appearance this month, visible low in the southwestern sky at the start of February before setting early in the evening.
