Hizbollah
Hizbollah is a Shiite militant and political organization based in Lebanon, known for its military capabilities and significant influence in Lebanese politics. Founded in the early 1980s, it emerged as a response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and has since been involved in various conflicts with Israel. The organization is designated as a terrorist group by several countries, including the United States and Israel, but is also seen as a legitimate resistance movement by many in Lebanon and the wider Arab world.
