Germany has introduced changes to its citizenship laws to ensure people with hatred towards Jews and Israel are kept away from naturalisation. German channel NDR (North German Radio and Television) has reported citing the country’s Interior Ministry that under the new law, people posting 'From the River to the Sea' on social media may also be denied citizenship.

<h2>'From the River to the Sea'</h2>

Amid increased antisemitism across Europe, Germany has introduced clause 10.1.1.1.3.1 in its citizenship law that concerns "Germany’s special historical responsibility for the National Socialist injustice and its consequences, especially for the protection of Jewish life."

The clause states that an individual who doesn’t respect Germany’s stance on providing legal guarantees and security commitment to Jews will not be offered citizenship. It means those denying or disputing the extent of the genocide of the Jews of Europe by Nazi Germany (the Holocaust) will be not offered naturalisation.

Israel&nbsp;Defense Forces (IDF) on&nbsp;Friday (Sep 27) said they had&nbsp;targeted Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on the militant organisation's central headquarters in Beirut. However, the IDF has not confirmed whether&nbsp;Nasrallah was hit in the strikes.&nbsp;

"Hezbollah's central headquarters was intentionally built under residential buildings in the heart of the Dahiyeh in Beirut as part of Hezbollah's strategy of using Lebanese people as human shields," IDF spokesman&nbsp;Daniel Hagari stated in an evening address.

Lebanon's health ministry said two people were killed and 76 wounded in the strikes.

"The successive Israeli enemy strikes on Haret Hreik in Beirut's southern suburbs, in a preliminary toll, killed two people and wounded 76, including... 15 that required hospitalisation," a ministry statement said.

Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV said four buildings had been destroyed in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital. Later, news agency AFP quoted a Hezbollah source as saying that at least six buildings were flattened in the attack.
