What is Hezbollah?

Al Jazeera  

Hezbollah leader Nasrallah and Israel have traded barbs, raising tensions in the region and worries of impending war. Hezbollah is an Iran-backed group that formed in 1982 to fight Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon. Nasrallah has often said the 2006 war was a success for Hezbollah, noting it withstood Israel’s much larger forces. Hezbollah is a Lebanese organisation, Hamas is a Palestinian group that formed in Gaza in 1987 after the beginning of the first Intifada against Israel’s occupation. After a Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, Hezbollah said it was in close contact with Palestinian resistance leadership and that the attack had been a “decisive response to Israel’s continued occupation and a message to those seeking normalisation”, referring to Arab countries rumoured to be about to normalise ties with Israel.
