'''Hezbollah''' (حزب الله, "Party of [[Allah]]), alternatively '''Hizbullah''', '''Hezbullah''', or '''Hezballah''' is a [[Lebanon|Lebanese]] militant group. Hezbollah's creation has been unclear, some say it was created in 1982, 1983 or even as late as 1985. Surely Hezbollah had been building up its existence since 1982 in response to the Israeli invasion, namely the "Peace for Galilee" the same year. Hezbollah's activities have been also reported since 1983, most notably when fighting broke out between it and the Amal Movement, a rival Shia militia.

In 1985, Hezbollah formally proclaimed its official existence and presented its manifesto. It included a desire to create an Islamic State in Lebanon based on the Iranian model whose foundation relates to the Shi'a theological understanding, practices and laws. Another controversial desire in Hezbollah's manifesto is the destruction of the state of Israel.

When Sayyid [[Hassan Nasrallah]] took leadership from his predecessor Sayyid Abbas Al-Musawi (who was assassinated by Israeli gunships) he set out to further implicate Hezbollah into the political framework in Lebanon. By the year 2000, the Israeli leadership had promised to withdraw from Lebanon because of the problems Hezbollah was causing for the IDF, which provoked a retaliatory attack from Israel, causing many civilian casualties. Hezbollah retaliated against Israel, creating a bloody cycle of civilian casualties on each side.

After Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese occupied territory named the "security zone" on 25 May 2000, Hezbollah was hailed as the victor simply because it was believed they were the sole entity responsible for Israel's departure from Lebanese land. These unfolding events, as well as the many escalations on the international border, where in one incident three IDF soldiers were kidnapped and a number of other wounded or killed in a croos-border raid in the disputed Shebaa farms area on 14 October 2000, the Lebanese government and Parliament voted Hezbollah as the "national resistance", placing full responsibility on it to solely protect the Lebanese border and defend the nation against any Israeli attacks. Which was what they set out to do, until breaking point on 12 July 2006.

The summer Israeli-Hezbollah war in July 2006 sparked by Hezbollah's abduction of 2 Israeli soldiers and leaving 8 others dead. Although at the time a lot of analysts and even Hezbollah's secretary general Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah claimed that the war had already been pre-planned and would have been executed by October that year whether or not Hezbollah attacked or kidnapped. The declaration of war on 13 July 2006 by Ehud Olmert using the Abduction as his excuse was seen as just a pretext for a well, and long, planned operation that would have taken place regardless of Hezbollah's actions.

The claim by these few during the war was shrugged off as a mere conspiracy theory by most of the media and nearly all of the western media. Until Olmert admitted the truth being that the war had been planned by Aerial Sharon before he fell into a coma and that he had himself personally ordered for preparation of a war as early as March 2006, four months before the war.
