Hezbollah, a Shia Islamist group based in Lebanon and backed by Iran, is considered one of the most heavily armed non-state groups globally. The group has been engaged in confrontations with Israeli forces on Lebanon's southern border since October 8, raising concerns about a potential regional conflict.
Despite being outnumbered by Israel's military strength, Hezbollah possesses a sophisticated arsenal that could inflict significant damage on Israel and its allies. The group is part of an Iran-led axis of militants across Yemen, Syria, Gaza, and Iraq, collectively known as the 'ring of fire.'
