How Hezbollah Came To Dominate Lebanon | History Documentary

Hezbollah now rivals the Lebanese government in terms of power. Backed by Iranian support and endowed with battle-hardened fighters that have strong belief in a cause, Hezbollah has become a power player in the wider region. Through its never-yielding resistance against Israel, the group positions itself on the frontline of the emerging Cold War between its benefactor Iran and Israel. But Hezbollah is so much more than just a militant group, as its social services programme suggests. Even though it was created to serve the Lebanese Shia, it enjoys popularity amongst various other religious groups. In order to understand them better, we need to delve into their roots on the chaotic battlefields of the Lebanese civil war, which moulded Lebanon as we know it today.
