RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Friday imposed sanctions on three individuals and four companies linked to terror outfit Hezbollah.
The Kingdom froze their assets and prohibited dealings with the three Lebanese nationals and the four firms.
In a statement, the Ministry of Interior named the individuals as Fadi Hussein Sarhan, Adel Moham-med Sheri and Ali Hussein Ze’ater.
The ministry identified the four companies as Vatech Sarl, Le-Hua Electronics Field Co. Ltd, Aero Skyone Co. Ltd. and Labico Sal Offshore,
“The Kingdom will continue its fight against the terrorist activities of the so-called Hezbollah through all available means,” the ministry said adding Saudi Arabia will continue to work with its allies around the world to make it clear that Hezbollah’s militant and extremist activities will not be tolerated by any nation or international organization.
The ministry statement carried by the SPA said as long as Hezbollah continued its activities to spread chaos, instability, terror acts and carried out criminal activities, the Kingdom will continue to designate Hezbollah operatives, leaders and individuals linked to the group as terror entities and impose sanctions on them.

The ministry advised citizens and residents not to deal with Hezbollah and the above-mentioned individuals and companies.
“Competent authorities shall apply the related Terrorism Crimes and Financing Laws and Regulations against anyone found dealing with the above-mentioned individuals and entities,” the ministry warned.
The ministry also said that those sanctioned are designated under the Saudi Law of Terrorism Crimes and Financing as well as the Royal Decree No. A/44, which target terrorists and their supporters and whoever works with them or on behalf of them.
Any assets of these designated entities are frozen, and Saudi citizens or expatriates in the Kingdom are prohibited from engaging in any transaction with them, the ministry statement added.
The US Treasury Department last year sanctioned Beirut-based Sarhan and his firm Vatech Sarl, along with Sheri, of Shenzhen, China, and his firm Le-Hua Electronic Field Co.
It said they were responsible “for providing material support to enhance the group’s military and terrorist capabilities.”
Sarhan purchased unmanned aerial vehicles, while Sheri facilitated Hezbollah’s efforts to obtain electronics “for transport to Yemen for use in improvised explosive devices by the Houthis,” the US Treasury Department said.
On Tuesday, Riyadh urged Saudi nationals not to travel to Lebanon “for their safety,” after the Kingdom halted a $3 billion program funding French military supplies to Beirut and $1bn for Lebanon’s internal security.
Riyadh cut the aid in response to hostile positions taken by Lebanon at the behest of Hezbollah.

KSrelief initiates treatment in Jordan for cancer-stricken Gaza girl
- Roza Al-Dreimli was transferred to Jordan through the initiative of KSrelief, amid the Gaza war that has destroyed hospitals
- She is currently under assessment and observation at the King Hussein Cancer Center, ahead of treatment
AMMAN: A cancer-stricken Palestinian girl from Gaza is now undergoing clinical observation prior to treatment at a specialist hospital in Jordan, thanks to the Saudi aid agency KSrelief.
Roza Al-Dreimli was transported to Amman from the Gaza Strip through the initiative of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) as part of Saudi Arabia’s continued commitment to providing life-saving aid and medical care to Palestinians suffering from critical health conditions, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
The report said that Roza’s case was prioritized due to the complexity of her condition, as assessments indicated a need for advanced treatment of cancerous cells at the base of the brain. She is now at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC).
"Under the supervision of a medical team specialized in pediatric brain tumors, she is currently undergoing intensive clinical monitoring and precise periodic examinations to assess the tumor’s response to treatment, ensure control of the condition, and prevent any potential neurological or visual complications resulting from the tumor’s location," SPA said.
The family expressed profound gratitude for KSrelief’s swift intervention, noting that the specialized care provided at KHCC has renewed their hope for their daughter’s recovery.
Such specialized care is currently unavailable in the Gaza Strip because of the destruction of hospitals during 26 months of bombardment by the Israeli military.
Israel systematically destroyed homes and commercial buildings and infrastructure in the Palestinian enclave in retaliation to the Oct. 7, 2023, raid by Hamas of Israeli border villages, during which the militant group killed more than 1,200 people and took 254 hostages.
