The Birth of Hezbollah Jan 19, 2023 — Arriving in Damascus in 1981, barely a year before Israel invaded Lebanon, Mohtashami began forming the new Shi'ite movement, Hezbollah. https://www.terrorism-info.org.il/en/the-birth-of-hezbollah/
About Hezbollah. Lebanon-based Hezbollah is a transnational Shiite Islamist group founded by Iran and following the ideology of absolute Wilayat al-Faqih
Lebanon-based Hezbollah is a transnational Shiite Islamist group founded by Iran in 1981, following the ideology of absolute Wilayat al-Faqih, as expounded by Tehran’s late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini. Since its inception, Hezbollah has engaged in terrorist activities, targeting its own and Iran’s enemies, both in Lebanon and abroad. Its activities have earned the organization and many of its members terror designations by the United States Departments of State and Treasury, as well as by other countries.
Contrary to the narrative purported by the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah, the group was founded prior to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. The decision to establish Hezbollah was made in Tehran three years prior to the Israeli invasion. Khomeini appointed Ayatollah Ali Akhbar Montazeri to establish Hezbollah, dispatching him to Damascus, Syria, where the group was founded in 1981.
The group runs a vast social services network – including hospitals, schools, vocational institutions, and charities -- in predominantly Shiite areas of Lebanon, which has earned it the gratitude and support of a community traditionally neglected by the Lebanese state. Through its “Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc,” Hezbollah also holds parliamentary and ministerial representation in Lebanon’s government.
