Hezbollah

The terrorist organization Hezbollah is a Shiite group that operates in Lebanon under the leadership of Hassan Nasrallah, and is financed and directed by Iran. The organization was officially established in 1984 as a militia toward the end of the first Israel-Lebanon war, and since its inception it has targeted Israel and Jews abroad. In 2006 its attacks developed into the Second Lebanon War. It joined with Hamas during the 'Iron Swords' war, attacking northern Israel.
