United Arab Emirates security authorities have dismantled a "terrorist network" allegedly funded and operated by Lebanon's Hizbollah and its backer Iran, arresting its members, the state news agency said on Friday.
It said the network, which had been operating under a fictitious commercial cover, was involved in "money laundering, financing terrorism and threatening national security", and sought to undermine financial stability.
Lebanon's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned what it described as a "terrorist plot" against the UAE, denounced Hizbollah's alleged involvement, and offered co-operation by Lebanese authorities to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
In a post on X, it also reiterated a Lebanese government decision issued earlier this month banning Hizbollah's military and security activities.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah or Iran.
