Jun 06, 2011 - Sidon, Lebanon - South Lebanon, largely a stronghold of Hezbollah. Hezbollah was conceived in 1982 by a group of Muslim clerics after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, primarily to offer resistance to the Israeli occupation. It also initially dreamed of transforming Lebanon's multi-confessional state into an Iranian-style Islamic state, although this idea was later abandoned in favour of a more inclusive approach that has survived to this day. The party emphasises that its Islamic vision should not be interpreted as an intention to impose an Islamic society on the Lebanese. It views the Jewish state as occupied Muslim land and it argues that Israel has no right to exist. Despite two UN resolutions (1559 passed in 2004, and 1701, which halted the war) calling for disarming of militias in Lebanon, Hezbollah's military arm remains intact. As well as a political clout, Hezbollah has wide popular appeal by providing social services and health care. (Credit Image: © Veronika Lukasova/ZUMAPRESS.com)
