Hezbollah is an Islamic political party and militant group in Lebanon. It forms part of the Axis of Resistance against Zionism and U.S. imperialism. Hezbollah was led by Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah from 1992 until his assassination by the Zionists in September 2024 due to his unwavering support to Palestine against genocide.[1]
History
Hezbollah liberated southern Lebanon from Israeli occupation in 2000 and again in 2006. In the Syrian Civil War, it helped defeat al Qaeda, ISIS, and USA-backed extremist groups. Hezbollah won the 2018 Lebanese elections, gaining a majority in a coalition with the Free Patriotic Movement and the Amal Movement.[2]
