Lebanese authorities are reportedly investigating claims that a prominent member of Hizbullah is involved in transferring money from Lebanon to military groups affiliated with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, Shiite Huthi rebels in Yemen and other organizations.

According to the Kuwaiti al-Seyassah published on Sunday, security sources are probing reports saying that M.A.S, who is also known as Abou Jaafar, is linked to carrying out Hizbullah's financial transactions to foreign groups.

Security sources said that investigations are focusing on the financial activity of the prominent Hizbullah member.

In March, Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh downplayed Washington's concerns on the possibility of involving Lebanese banks in money laundering operations to finance terrorism, in particular the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
