Lebanese Hezbollah

Hezbollah is a political and military organization based in Lebanon, formed in the 1980s with roots in Shiite Islam. It functions as both a social-political party and an armed group, initially to resist Israeli occupation. Hezbollah receives support from Iran and Syria, and it has a significant military presence. While it provides social services and participates in Lebanese politics, it is also designated as a terrorist organization by some countries due to its military activities and attacks. Its role is complex, blending governance, social aid, and armed resistance within Lebanon and regional conflicts.
