Hezbollah emerged as a response to the Sabra and Shatila massacre, where up to 3,500 Palestinian refugees and Lebanese civilians were killed, fueling Shia armed resistance.
By 1985, Hezbollah had successfully pressured Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon, marking a significant moment in the group’s rise and influence within the region.
The ongoing conflict saw a revival with Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel since October 2023, which signals a turbulent phase in Israeli-Hezbollah relations.
Recent attacks by Israel on Hezbollah in Lebanon, following a major explosion on September 17, 2024, have escalated violence and caused mass displacement.
