Responses:

Are they state backed by Lebanon or just ('just' is the wrong word?) based in Lebanon? Have they fired any rockets in this conflict? -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 17, 19:24 7
- Not state-backed exactly, but Hezbollah is part of the coalition that governs Lebanon. -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 19:31 4
  - So it's more than just a militia, it has a political wing (with supporters)? - ty97 Oct 17, 19:41 3
