Chinese video-sharing social networking service TikTok on Sunday blocks extremist Israeli group Lehava, saying the content posted violets its policies.

Lehava ("Flame") opposes interfaith and inter-ethnic interaction, relationships and marriages. Its activists often riot outside mixed Jewish-Muslim weddings, as well as along the routes of gay pride parades.

The group's account had gone live only one week ago, during which time countless complaints were lodged with TikTok against the content Lehava posted.

TikTok said in a statement that Lehava's account has been permanently blocked over "repeated violations of our community conduct regulations."

Social media giant Facebook blocked removed Lehava's account several years ago.
