Kata'ib Hezbollah (Arabic: كتائب حزب الله, lit. (Arabic: كتاب حزب الله‎, transliteration: Kata'ab Hizb Allah, literally: "Brigades of the Party of Allah") is an Iranian backed Iraqi Shiite terror militia formed in 2007. It was formed to fight the United States Army, which was in the country as part of the Iraq War. The militia operates under the direction of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and since 2014 has been affiliated with the Al-Hashd al-Shaabi ("Popular Mobilization") organization. Since the American withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, the militia has focused on activities against the Islamic State (ISIS) organization and ongoing security in Iraq, as well as involvement in the Syrian Civil War, alongside other pro-Iranian Shiite militias. Until 2020, the militia's leader was Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who was also its founder. After his assassination along with Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, it is believed that Ahmed Mohsen Faraj al-Hamidawi is the militia's secretary-general.

In March 2023, Elizabeth Tsurkov, Russian-Israeli doctoral student, was Kidnapped and tortured by Katai'b Hezbollah, including sexualy, held for over 900 days. "They would hang me by my wrists, and start beating me with a stick and using even harsher methods of torture and saying, 'I want something new,'" said Tsurkov.[1]

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi - an Iraqi national and senior commander of Kata'ib Hezbollah, on May 15, 2026, the United States Department of Justice announced that Al-Saadi had been arrested and charged with multiple terrorism-related offenses connected to alleged attacks and plots targeting Americans, Jews, Israeli interests, and Western institutions in Europe and North America.[2]
