Israel is preparing for a ground assault in Gaza following Hamas's attack on Saturday. Follow our live coverage.
Hezbollah, like Hamas, is designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and other countries and both share an antipathy toward Israel. Hamas follows the Sunni branch of Islam, along with the majority of the Islamic world. Hezbollah ascribes to the Shia branch like Iran, so has longer-running ties to the Islamic Republic. Formed in the aftermath of the 1982 Lebanon War, Hezbollah was established as an umbrella group for the country's disparate Shiite factions.
In the 1990s, Hezbollah adopted a more formal political role in Lebanon and has become a prominent faction in that country's ruling alliance. Hezbollah and Hamas both aim to eradicate the Israeli state. Hezbollah leaders praised Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks and there has been some fighting with Israeli troops along the Israel-Lebanon border since the Hamas assault. Hezbollah also serves Iran’s broader objectives in the Middle East by opposing any Western or Israeli presence in the region.
