Hezbollah, formed in the early 1980s during the Lebanese Civil War, initially aimed to resist Israeli occupation in southern Lebanon and to establish an Islamic state based on Shia principles. The group sought to unite various factions within the Lebanese Shia community and gain political representation while promoting anti-Western sentiments, particularly against the U.S. and Israel. Its goals evolved over time to include social services and political participation, but the core focus on resistance against Israel has remained central to its identity.
