Facebook removed pages for Hezbollah, its affiliated Al-Manar television station and its leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah.

It is the second time that the social networking site has removed pages for the Lebanon-based Hezbollah; the first time was in August, but the group created new pages.

The Middle East Media Research Institute had reported on the original and new pages.
