listen man, whoever brainwashed you into thinking hezbollah was some terrorist militia did a good job. the hezbollah work with lebanese army hand in hand. They are not there to instigate. They defend against israel. What makes you think they are there, untouched by the lebanese army, unaccounted for or ungoverned? Lebanon NEEDS them.
Hezbollah first emerged during the Lebanese Civil War as a militia of Shia followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini, trained, organized and funded by a contingent of Iranian Revolutionary Guards.[8] Hezbollah's three main goals are to: Eradicate what it views as Western colonialism in Lebanon, bring to justice of those who committed atrocities during the war (specifically the Phalangists), and establish an Islamic government in Lebanon.[9] Hezbollah has realized that the goal of transforming Lebanon into an Islamic state is not practical at this time and has temporarily abandoned it.[8]
Six countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, officially list Hezbollah or its external security arm as a terrorist organization, though its designation as such is not unanimous among world powers (perhaps most notably, the European Union[10]). Most in the Arab and Muslim worlds regard Hezbollah as a legitimate resistance movement.[3]
Hezbollah has popular support in Shi'a Lebanese society[11] and has mobilized demonstrations of hundreds of thousands.[12][13][14] In addition Hezbollah receives arms, training, and financial support from Iran[15][16] and has "operated with Syria's blessing" since the end of the Civil War.[17][18] Hezbollah, which started only with a militia, has grown to an organization which has seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite television station, and programs for social development.[19] Since 1992 the organization has been headed by Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, its Secretary-General.
