Kataib Hezbollah Proscribed

Days after the U.S. DOJ posted a $10 million bounty on his head, Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, leader of the Iran-backed Iraqi militia Kata'ib Hezbollah, appeared at a "victory rally" in Karbala, southern Iraq, covering his face with a keffiyeh, a COVID mask, and sunglasses.

U.S. reveals the face of the Kata'ib Hezbollah leader for the first time and offers $10 million for his head.

Kata’ib Hezbollah says 25 of its members were killed in U.S. and Israeli strikes during the war with Iran.

Kataib Hezbollah says it will release abducted American journalist Shelly Kittleson, ordering her to leave Iraq immediately.

Iran-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah offers to negotiate the release of kidnapped U.S. journalist Shelly Kittleson if Iraq frees several of its detained members.

Iraq’s Iran backed Kataib Hezbollah says it will halt attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad for 5 days, setting 3 conditions:

1. Israel halts strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs
2. No strikes on residential areas in Iraq
3. CIA operatives in Iraq remain confined to the U.S. Embassy compound, excluding the Masoud area

The group warned attacks will resume after 5 days if these conditions are not met.
