Hezbollah

Hezbollah(Party of Allah or Party of God)is a Shia Islamic Militant Group and Political Party based in Lebanon which receives financial and political support from Iran and Syria and its Paramilitary Wing and is regarded as a Resistance Movement throughout much of the Arab and Muslim  worlds.

Hezbollah receives military training, weapons, and financial support from Iran and political support from Syria


Hezbollah first emerged as a result of the 1982 Israeli Invasion of Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War.Following the end of the Israeli Occupation of South Lebanon  in 2000, its military strength grew significantly


Hezbollah's 1985 manifesto listed its four main goals as "Israel's final departure from Lebanon as a prelude to its final obliteration", ending "any imperialist power in Lebanon", submission of the Phalangists( Lebanese Phalanges Party better known in English as the Phalange,a traditional Right -Wing Political -Paramilitary  Organization) to "just rule" and bringing them to trial for their crimes, and giving the people the chance to choose "with full freedom the system of government they want", while not hiding its commitment to the rule of Islam

Hezbollah, which started with only a small militia, has grown to an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a Satellite TV Station and programs for Social Development.

Hezbollah maintains strong support among Lebanon's Shia population, and is able to mobilize demonstrations of hundreds of thousands

Hezbollah became a part of the Lebanese Govt for the first time on June 13, 2011

Hezbollah has been headed by Hassan Nasrallah,its Secretary General since 1992
