	[No title]
		Hizbullah's pursuit of stronger political standing stems mainly from Nasrallah's intent to depict the organization as a legitimate political force and not a rogue terror organization.
		Hizbullah's raison d'être had been the expulsion of Israeli presence from Lebanon and now with this objective seemingly achieved, the organization feared it would be deemed irrelevant.
		While Hizbullah and Lebanon were both dealt a serious blow by the war, Israel emerged relatively unscathed in terms of the impact the war had on its economy and the damage caused to infrastructure.

		Hizbullah emerged with the aim of expelling the occupants and alleviating the social sufferings of the Shia community.

	Hizbullah in Lebanon by Martin Kramer
		Hizbullah also emerged as the major rival of the established Amal movement for the loyalty of Lebanon’s Shi‘is. Hizbullah’s declared objective has been the transformation of Lebanon (and the region) into an Islamic state, a goal it has pursued by diversified means, ranging from acts of violence to participation in parliamentary elections.
		Hizbullah activists were also responsible for a spate of fatal bombings in Paris in 1986, meant to force France to abandon its policy of supplying Iraq with arms.
		Hizbullah advocated a straightforward referendum on an Islamic state; in such a state, the Christians would be entitled to protection, not parity.

	HIZBULLAH
		The Hizbullah organization was established as an organizational body for Shi'ite fundamentalists, led by religious clerics, who see in the adoption of Iranian doctrine a solution to the Lebanese political malaise.
		IDEOLOGY The ideological basis of Hizbullah is Khomeinism and its principle goal is the establishment of a pan-Islamic republic headed by religious clerics.
		Hizbullah decries the existence of Israel ('the little Satan'), viewed as foreign to the region and which constitutes a threat to Islam and Muslims.

	Hizbullah: The Calculus of Jihad by Martin Kramer
		Hizbullah's progression from suicide bombings to airliner hijackings to hostage holding made it an obsession of the media and the nemesis of governments.
		Hizbullah ultimately rested on an analogy between Lebanon and Iran — an analogy that defied vast disparities in the size and populations of the two countries, and in their geostrategic positions and resources.
		Hizbullah did not have the means to turn the world upside-down, but it had fought and bought its way to the hearts of perhaps as many as half of Lebanon's politically active Shi'ites.

	What is Turkey's Hizbullah?(Human Rights Watch Press Release, February 16, 2000)
		Since then, little has been heard of Hizbullah until the operations which began on January 17 this year, when Huseyin Velioglu, recognized as leader of the bloodiest factions of Hizbullah called "Ilim," was killed in a police raid on a house in Istanbul.
		Hizbullah was a mainly urban phenomenon (in rural areas, hundreds of extrajudicial executions were carried out by gendarmes, village guards paid by the government, and "special teams").
		Hizbullah did not claim responsibility for any of the killings, but came to be associated with a particular style of assassination carried out in broad daylight, often by pairs of young assassins using pistols of Eastern European manufacture.

	Hizbullah moves to assert its moral authority in post-occupation Lebanese politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Hizbullah’s performance in Lebanon’s parliamentary election, the first stage of which took place on August 27, and which are due to be completed on September 3, is being watched with interest.
		Hizbullah is aiming to secure 9 seats in the 128-seat parliament, and the electoral alliances forged prior to the liberation remain unchanged.
		The dissident shaykh, who served as Hizbullah’s secretary-general from 1987 to 1989, was expelled from the party in January 1998, partly because of his "Hunger Revolution," as well as his criticism of the group’s leadership and operating outside the group’s structures.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Region \| Hizbullah ups the pressure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Hizbullah television on Sunday screened footage of Hashem's killing, showing a four-minute sequence of a vague image of a man, followed by an explosion from what the report described as a massive bomb planted by resistance fighters and detonated by remote control.
		Both Hizbullah operations fell within the terms of the 1996 April Understanding, which governs the conflict in South Lebanon and is designed to protect civilians, making it even more difficult for Israel to justify retaliation, particularly as the international community closely monitors such incidents.
		Hizbullah refrained from retaliating, deciding against lobbing Katyusha rockets over the border as it usually does when the terms of the April Understanding are breached.
