WHAT DOES HIZBOLLAH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hezbollah

Hezbollah —also transliterated Hizbullah, Hizballah, etc.[11]—is a Shi'a Islamic militant group and political party based in Lebanon.[12][13][14] Hezbollah's paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council;[15][16] once seen as a resistance movement throughout much of the Arab world,[12] this image upon which the group's legitimacy rested has been severely damaged, due to the sectarian nature of the Syrian Civil War in which it has become involved since 2012.[17][18] The group's paramilitary is considered more powerful than the Lebanese Army.[19][20] Hezbollah, which started with only a small militia, has grown to an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite television-station, programs for social development and large-scale military deployment of fighters beyond Lebanon's borders.[18][21][22] The organization has been called a state within a state.[23] Hezbollah maintains strong support among Lebanon's Shi'a population.[24] After the death of Abbas al-Musawi in 1992, the organisation has been headed by Hassan Nasrallah, its Secretary-General.
