Hezbollah (Arabic: حزب الله ḥizbu-'llāh(i), literally "party of God") is a Shi'a Islamist political and paramilitary organisation based in Lebanon. Hezbollah is now also a major provider of social services, which operate schools, hospitals, and agricultural services for thousands of Lebanese Shiites, and plays a significant force in Lebanese politics. It is regarded as a resistance movement throughout much of the Arab and Muslim world. However the entire organization is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, Israel, Canada, and the Netherlands. The United Kingdom however, has placed only Hezbollah's military wing on its list of proscribed terrorist organisations, while Australia considers only the "External Security Organisation", a part of its military structure, to be a terrorist organization. |

Lebanon (: /ˈlɛbənɒn/ or : /ˈlɛbənən/ Arabic: لبنان Lubnān), officially the Lebanese Republic (الجمهورية اللبنانية), is a country in Western Asia, on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south. Lebanon established a unique political system in 1942, known as confessionalism, based on a community-based power-sharing mechanism. It was created when the ruling French mandatory powers expanded the borders of the former autonomous Ottoman Mount Lebanon district that was mostly populated by Maronite Catholics and Druze.
