About
Hezbollah is a Shia Islamist organization founded in 1982 during the Lebanese Civil War. It has been involved in various conflicts, including the Israeli-Lebanese conflict since 2006. Recently, Hezbollah has been at odds with Israel over a US-brokered ceasefire, which began 12 days ago. Despite this, fighting continues, and both sides have traded threats and strikes across Lebanon's border. The group is also tied to Iran's nuclear negotiations and has been accused of undermining the ceasefire. Lebanon's social affairs minister has called for Hezbollah's disarmament, but the process is seen as complex due to the group's role in Lebanese society. The conflict highlights the ongoing tensions between Israel, Hezbollah, and their respective allies, with significant implications for regional stability.
