	Hizballah
		Hizballah is dedicated to liberating Jerusalem and eliminating Israel and has formally advocated ultimate establishment of Islamic rule in Lebanon.
		Hizballah is closely allied with, and often directed by, Iran but has the capability and willingness to act alone.
		Hizballah also attacked the Israeli Embassy in Argentina in 1992 and the Israeli cultural center in Buenos Aires in 1994.

	Hizballah in the Firing Line - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
		Nonetheless, Hizballah potentially faces the greatest challenge of its 18-year history, with the US viewing the organization as a possible threat to its position in Iraq, a continuing menace to its ally Israel and an impediment to the successful implementation of a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
		Hizballah regards Syrian support as vital for it to maintain an overt and sanctioned military stance in Lebanon, despite the withdrawal in May 2000 of Israeli forces from south Lebanon, an event which threatened to undermine the party's rhetoric of resistance.
		Hizballah is open about its preparations; the leadership's constant refrain is that it is "ready for all eventualities." "Since May 2000, the resistance has been preparing for war, because Israel wants to avenge its defeat in Lebanon," Nasrallah warned on April 24.

	Anti-Semitism as a Corollary of Anti-Zionism: A Basic Tenet of Hizballah Ideology by Esther Webman
		Hizballah's attitude toward Israel and the Jews, entrenched as it is in the movement's overall philosophy, predicates that the way to a new Lebanon and Islamic revival passes through Jerusalem.
		For Hizballah as well, the liberation of Jerusalem is perceived as the esssence of the resistance effort, with the struggle for Lebanon merely a stage on the road to the redemption of Jerusalem.
		Hizballah's brand of anti-Semitism is yet another addition to the emerging phenomenon of Islamic anti-Semitism, and is typical of the fundamentalist Islamic movements generally, combining traditional Islamic perceptions with Western anti-Semitic terminology and motifs to express its opposition to Zionism.

		At approximately 4:30 AM IST Hizballah forces stationed in southern Lebanon unleashed a massive artillery assault on IDF positions in the Har Dov region of the Golan Heights.
		Hizballah’s Al-Manar TV said the group started shelling Israeli positions after a group of IDF commandos crossed the international border.
		Hizballah insists the Har Dov region is Lebanese territory, and uses this claim as justification for continued attacks on northern Israel.

	Middle East Report Online: Hizballah Outside and In , Michael Young
		Hizballah's strong pronouncements in support of the new intifada, renewed October 22 in the wake of the Arab summit, must be read as attempts to capture Palestinian and other Arab public opinion.
		Hizballah primarily seeks bargaining chips in what is bound to be a long and complex negotiating process to bring about the release of 19 Lebanese prisoners still being held in Israeli jails.
		Hizballah aspires to nothing less than to be the main Shiite interlocutor with Lebanon's other communities, while also playing an influential regional role as the spearhead of opposition to Israel.

	Analysis: Accepting Hizballah As A Legitimate Political Entity
		Once the poster child for Mideast terrorism, Hizballah (Party of God) is rapidly emerging from the slums of Beirut and the economically depressed southern part of Lebanon to flex its muscles and possibly become a major player in the region and, inter alia, in the war on terrorism.
		Hizballah's seeming rejection of the peace efforts were further confirmed when a high-ranking security official of the Palestinian Autonomy told "The Jerusalem Post" on 9 February that: "Hizballah and Iran are not happy with Abbas's efforts to achieve a cease-fire with Israel and resume negotiations with Israel....
		Hizballah first appeared on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations nearly 25 years ago, after it was suspected of having bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut and killing 241 U.S. Marines when a suicide bomber drove into the Marine's barracks in Beirut in 1983.

		Hizballah has definitely not become a second version of Amal and has retained the key features of a terrorist organization.
		It is Hizballah that is perhaps the purist representative of "Khatt al-Imam" (the line of the Imam, in Arabic), while Iran itself has changed beyond comprehension and is torn by internal disagreements.
		Hizballah, and the Iranians who back them, have...reduced the level of direct activity across the border because they have turned much of their energy toward the manipulation of terrorist activity within the Palestinian areas and Israel.

	HIZBALLAH: NEW COURSE OR CONTINUED WARFARE
		Hizballah stormed onto the Lebanese scene in late 1983 with a series of attacks on Western and Israeli targets in the country that brought hundreds of casualties, leading the United States and France to end their involvement in Lebanon, and Israel to complete quickly a withdrawal of its direct presence.
		Thus, Hizballah was not just a militant group but also a fascinating coalition of forces and interests within the Shi'ite community working towards advancing their status and interests under the guise of a comprehensive effort to improve the status of the Shi'ite community(31).
		Hizballah adheres to this idea.The expulsion of Israel from the region and the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem form the Hizballah's principal belief, and as such they are more sacred than a set goal.However, the question before us is our order of priorities in the next stage.

	DEBKAfile - Hizballah misfires first missile of Iraqi shipment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The blast occurred at a Hizballah training camp near a village called Janta in the northeastern section of the Beqaa Valley close to the Syrian frontier.
		According to our sources, the missile exploded suddenly, catching the Hizballah team handling it unawares and causing a large number of casualties, as indicated by the long line of ambulances and rescue teams reported by witnesses to be racing to the blast scene from northern and central Lebanon.
		For the Hizballah, shooting even one missile into northern Israel would have gained the group enormous prestige in its Arab and Muslim milieu, while Israel would have found it hard to justify a large-scale response to a single missile.

	CAMERA: EYE ON THE MEDIA: Whitewashing Hizballah
		Though Sachs admits that Hizballah is “still considered by the United States and other nations to be a terrorist group that bombed embassies and kidnaped Westerners in the 1980's” the reporter is misleading about the chronology of carnage.
		Hizballah did, indeed, specialize in deadly bombings in the 1980's, including two in Beirut on the same day in 1983 that killed 241 American marines and 56 French servicemen sleeping in their respective barracks.
		Hizballah is also credited with blowing a Panamanian airplane out of the sky the same year killing 21 people.

	Hizballah and Syria's "Lebanese Card" - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
		Hizballah sticks to a policy of neither confirming nor denying such statements, believing ambiguity to be a psychological weapon in itself.
		Hizballah has coopted some of the drug dealers based in south Lebanon and exploited their smuggling connections across the Lebanon-Israel border to establish a number of spy rings among Arab communities in northern Israel.
		Hizballah's apologists, by contrast, claim that the organization has abandoned its anti-Western militancy of the 1980s, having evolved into a pragmatic mainstream Lebanese political party beholden to the interests of its Shiite constituency.

	Hizballah Seeking to Claim Gaza Pullout As Victory -- 06/30/2005
		Israeli security sources said that Hizballah was trying to open a second front against Israel (the first is the Palestinian terrorist front) ahead of the implementation of the disengagement plan and also because the organization is concerned about its standing in Lebanon, Israel Radio reported.
		Hizballah is intent on sabotaging the disengagement plan to show that Hizballah is part of the fight against Israel alongside the Palestinians, Karmon said.
		Despite Hizballah's Iranian connections, Karmon said he did not believe the attack was connected to the victory of hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in last week's presidential elections in Iran.

	Lebanon Hizballah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In 1987 Hizballah followed strictly the theological line of Iran's Ayatollah Sayyid Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini and called for the establishment in Lebanon of Islamic rule modeled on that of Iran.
		Among prominent Hizballah leaders in late 1987 were Shaykh Ibrahim al Amin, Shaykh Subhi at Tufayli, Shaykh Hasan Nasrallah, Shaykh Abbas al Musawi, and Husayn al Musawi; Fadlallah insisted that he had no formal organizational role but was merely Hizballah's inspirational leader.
		Hizballah gained international attention in 1983 when press reports linked it to attacks against United States and French facilities in Lebanon, to the abduction of foreigners, and to the hijacking of aircraft.

	HIZBALLAH IN LEBANON
		Hizballah also tries to use activities in the social and economic spheres to lay a foundation for its transformation into a social and political movement that could play a role in the existing Lebanese political order.
		Hizballah refers to the event as the 'September 13th Massacre' and its leaders have repeatedly promised to settle the score with the Lebanese regime responsible for it.
		Hizballah managed to sustain a balance of terror against Israel which, alongside the latter's reluctance to bring too much pressure on Beirut lest talks with Damascus be slowed, in effect handicapped Israel, as even the late prime minister Yitzhak Rabin admitted.

		Hizballah is not currently on the European Union’s (EU) list of terrorist organizations because member states have been unable to agree on including it.
		Those states that oppose adding Hizballah to the EU terror list argue that the organization provides needed social services in Lebanon where it is based, and that freezing its assets would be counterproductive.
		While the Dutch have drawn a distinction between Hizballah’s civilian and armed wings, Bot has attempted to convince the European Parliament that both are dedicated to the same ends, warranting that the group be recognized as a terrorist organization.

	JAFFE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES - STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT
		Hizballah retains, after all, an ideological commitment; Iran and Syria for their part still have interests of their own in encouraging the organization to continue pressuring Israel.
		The decline in the number of Hizballah actions is a product not only of a decline in motivation: Hizballah is having trouble operating in areas where it lacks legitimacy, both in the eyes of the international community, and in the eyes of the Lebanese people, who would bear the brunt of Israeli retaliations.
		It is for this reason that the majority of Hizballah actions have taken place in a relatively limited area, known in Israel as Har Dov, and among the Lebanese as Shaba Farms.

		"Hizballah doesn't want to be a part of the army because it would flatten the independence of their decision-making," Karmon said.
		Hizballah is believed to have some 10,000 rockets, capable of hitting Israel's northern population centers.
