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.

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.[1]
