The Saudi State Security designated on Monday 13 individuals and three entities as terrorist.

A Lebanese national and two Iranians were blacklisted for ties to Iran's Quds Force and the Iran-backed terrorist Hezbollah party in Lebanon.

Four people, including an Afghan and a Syrian national, and a company were blacklisted for ties to ISIS.

Two Syrians were found to have set up the Qaterji company that sold fuel to ISIS and cooperating with other terrorist groups, such as the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Six people were designated for financing the terrorist Boko Haram group.

They had set up a cell in the United Arab Emirates that is affiliated with the group and funding its terrorist activities in Nigeria.

Two groups, the Saraya al-Ashtar and Saraya al-Mokhtar, were designated terrorist.

They are based in Bahrain and backed by Iran. They receive financial, logistic and military support from the Iran Guards.

The State Security said the assets of the designated persons and entities will be frozen and all direct and indirect activity with them will be barred.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Friday the Israeli airstrike that targeted the vicinity of the presidential palace in Damascus.

“The Kingdom reiterated its firm rejection of the Israeli attacks that violate Syria’s sovereignty, security, and stability,” said a Foreign Ministry statement.

It stressed the “urgent need to put an end to Israel’s blatant violations of international law in Syria and the region, warning that the continuation of these violations and Israel’s extremist policies heighten the risks of violence, extremism, and regional instability.”
