IBA director Michael McCann, a former Labour Friends of Israel vice-chair, also cited reports that Hizbollah has deliberately starved civilians in the Syrian town of Madayah.
“Even by the heart-breaking standards of the Syrian civil war, the starvation of civilian areas like Madayah is a reminder of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man,” he said.
“These crimes have once again shown us the barbarity of Hizbollah. The UK government boldly led the way on pushing the EU to recognise the military wing of this group as a terrorist organisation.”
Mr McCann added that after defining Daesh - also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - as a terrorist organisation, the government should do the same to “the other ISIL – the Islamic State of Iran and Lebanon.”
