What is Hezbollah?

It is a terrorist group, based in southern Lebanon, that wants the destruction of Israel. Hezbollah is responsible for numerous terrorist attacks against Jewish and Israeli targets abroad, such as the car bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina in 1994, in which 85 people were killed, and the attacks on the Israeli embassy in London. Hezbollah wants the Shebaa Farms border area with Israel.

The group reiterated its commitment to the destruction of the Israeli state in its 2009 manifesto. In December 2018, Israel announced the discovery of kilometers of tunnels running from Lebanon to northern Israel, created by Hezbollah.

After the attack of October 2023 against Israel by the Hamas terrorist groupbacked by Iran, Hezbollah began firing rockets, mortars and drones into Israel to support Hamas terrorists.
