| 17. July 2006 | | JureHezbollah - or Party of God - emerged in Lebanon in the early 1980s and became the region’s leading radical Islamic movement, determined to drive Israeli troops from Lebanon.
In May 2000 - due partly to the success of the party’s military arm - one of its main aims was achieved. Israel’s battered and bruised army was forced to end its two-decade occupation of the south.
Hezbollah now serves as an inspiration to Palestinian factions fighting to liberate occupied territory.
The party, in turn, has embraced the Palestinian cause and has said publicly that it is ready to open a second front against Israel in support of the intifada.
Ironija; Hizbolah je nastal, da bi Izraelce pregnal iz Libanona - danes vdirajo Izraelci v Libanon, da bi od tam pregnali Hizbolah.
