Central Military Media accused the US-based websites of running an “anti-media campaign,” in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

The Hezbollah affiliated media site accused both Twitter and Facebook of sabotaging their accounts, despite not giving the reason for the alleged shut down.

According to Hezbollah, Facebook and Twitter closed its accounts as part of their efforts to harm the Lebanese organization since social media plays a major role in Hezbollah's activities.

Hezbollah said on the Telegram encrypted messaging app that the closures came without warning and were “part of the propaganda campaign against the resistance due to the important role of the organization’s information apparatus in various arenas.”
