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[edit | edit source]
