Hizbullah

Hizbullah, or "Party of God," is a militant political organization based in Lebanon, founded in the early 1980s during the Lebanese Civil War. It emerged in response to Israeli invasions and the influence of Western powers. Hizbullah is known for its strong ties to Iran and its advocacy for Shia Islam. It operates as both a military force and a political party, holding seats in the Lebanese parliament. While it provides social services to its communities, it is also designated as a terrorist organization by some countries, due to its involvement in armed conflict and opposition to Israel.
