Hezbollah

Hezbollah is a Lebanese militant group and political party, founded in the early 1980s, partly in response to Israel's invasion of Lebanon. It combines social, political, and military elements, advocating for Lebanese nationalism and resistance against Israel. Supported by Iran and Syria, Hezbollah operates as both a guerrilla force and a political entity, participating in Lebanon's parliamentary system. While regarded as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the U.S. and Israel, it has significant popular support in Lebanon for its social services and military efforts, particularly during conflicts with Israel. Its actions and ideology impact regional dynamics in the Middle East.
