At the end of 2022, the streets of the areas of the southern Lebanon overflow. Only the endless summer breeze waved hundreds of colorful words that boasted ‘God’s side’decorated in green. In the beginning ‘a’ Allah stretched to the heavens to draw him gun attack that frame a verse from Koran. Along with the pennants, the faces of the Iranian and Lebanese leaders followed the pictures of the young people who died in the conflict. Hezbollah I’m celebrating. The Lebanese army, a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause in its conflict with Israel, followed 40 years established as the largest and most armed group in the Middle East.
As in Year 1982the political party also did not announce its formation until three years later after its founding document was published. Lebanon has been in crisis for more than five years. intense civil war and the days of 1982 are the longest. The “Islamic Revolution in Lebanon” came to correct them. Hezbollah is fully established height of Israel’s invasion of the country and, although he lost one of the main goals of establishing an Islamic republic in Lebanon, like his counterparts in Iran, he has never abandoned his second goal. Four years later, Hezbollah fighters again advocated against Israel“Zionist enemy.”
In these 40 years, the Lebanese army has managed to go from being an unequal organization to having a undeniable influence in Lebanon and the region. Hezbollah not only dominates the politics of its native country, but is also responsible for the spread power generation throughout the Arab world. Boasting about having some 100,000 fighters well trained and has some 150,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel. Before Hamas’ unexpected aggression and the start of the current war in Gaza, the Jewish state considered it its most important immediate threat.
Hezbollah’s involvement in the conflicts in Syria and Yemen has made it designated a terrorist organization by 26 countries, the European Union and most of the Arab League states.
The law is in doubt
Also, in the last decade, Hezbollah has intervened fighting in Syria and Yemen. Championing this role of loyal friends Generationhas given military support to its allies, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Houthi rebels. These incursions have earned him the choice of terrorist organization by 26 countries, the European Union and most of the Arab League States. At the same time, his participation in foreign civil wars is not related to the supposed opposition Israel called legitimizes its existenceaccording to his objections.
For this reason, along with the economic deterioration of Lebanon, many have questioned the legitimacy of the army. And the proof of this is loss of parliamentary majority in the last elections last May. “Many Shiites in Lebanon do not see the group as an opposition group fight against injustice, responsibility and corruptionbut they see little more than a drug company focused on mass production and transportation of Captagon,” from its lucrative business, he said. Hanin Ghadarto The Washington Institute.
“They are also angry at Hezbollah’s efforts to protect corrupt politicians and obstructing judicial proceedings related to the Beirut port explosion in 2020″ that killed 215 people, added Ghadar. attack on Lebanese protestors During the 2019 protests they just spread the decline in support for the armed forces. A Zogby study from last year shows that 52% of Lebanon He does not believe that Hezbollah promotes the stability of the country, while the rest believe that they do too.
Ghadar explained that “although the ideas of resistance and opposition to Israel still deeply rooted, anger over the war and Hezbollah’s efforts to continue fighting the Shia community is even stronger still, Hezbollah continues to act as “.a state within a state“in Lebanon. De facto ruling the south of the country, the eastern Bekaa valley and southern areas of Beirut. It is one of the few armies that did not disarm after the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) and, therefore, its positions are stronger than those of the Lebanese Army that was defeated, even in the midst of the economic crisis.
With hardly any direct confrontations with Israel in years, its detractors question the legitimacy of the political party as an organization born to lead the resistance against the Zionist enemy.
Established in the area
In the last year, it has rained the fight of his wealth against Saudi Arabia and its friends in the Gulf, where a significant part of the Lebanese diaspora lives. Hasan Nasrallah He continued to lead the armed forces after being appointed secretary general Year 1992. This charismatic and fierce leader has rarely appeared in public since the 2006 war with Israel. Hiding for fear of being killed, it is being read terrorist world and is subject to US sanctions. Physical absence does not prevent him from participating in the public event of the military through videos projected on large screens.
Despite being established as the militia in the region, increasingly separate this Iran and its allies. Victory in the Lebanese elections did not significantly weaken his power in the region, because he will always have threats of violence and his tactics to “sustain key processes.” decision blocking and creating vacuums in the institutions.” Hezbollah seemed to have learned its lesson and ordered new wars. “You already know that the the threat of their missiles and drones can achieve more than their own weapons, “Ghadar concluded. The weak support of the Lebanese society cannot withstand another conflict. But the current movement of the conflict can change things.
