Definition
Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shia Islamist political and militant organization with major roles in Lebanese politics, Iran-linked regional networks, and conflict with Israel.
Background
It emerged after Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon and combines armed capabilities, party politics, and social services, making it influential both domestically and regionally.
Position
It is a key term for Iran-linked regional actors, Lebanese politics, conflict with Israel, and nonstate armed organizations in the Middle East.
Distinctions
- Hezbollah is not a state army; it combines political, military, and social-service functions.
- Terrorist designation varies by country and institution, so legal treatment is not uniform internationally.
