"Hezbollah: Iran's Mighty Proxy on Israel's Doorstep"

Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Islamist movement with a powerful paramilitary force, could become a wildcard player in the Hamas-Israel war and potentially spark a wider regional conflict. Emerging from the aftermath of Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, Hezbollah has a history of violence and has been involved in various attacks. While officially considered a resistance group by Lebanon, it is designated as a terrorist organization by much of the Western world. Despite economic and political challenges, Hezbollah remains a formidable force and a key partner for Iran. The group's intervention in the current conflict remains uncertain, as it faces the risk of engaging with Israel's superior military capabilities and potentially igniting a third front in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
