Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and militant group and is one of the most heavily armed non-state actors globally. The group is primarily supported by Iran.
This week the group made headlines as they issued a warning to Israel regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The military group's second-in-command Naim Qassem said the group is prepared to engage in full-scale conflict if necessary.
A Brief History of Hezbollah
Hezbollah emerged during Lebanon's civil war in the 1980s. The group was originally formed in response to the Israeli occupation. Israel occupied South Lebanon for decades until the Israeli military withdrew in 2000.
