Die Hisbollah (arabisch „Partei Gottes“, oft auch Hizbullah, Hizb-Allah oder Hezbollah geschrieben) ist eine islamistische libanesische Organisation. Sie entstand ab 1982 durch den Zusammenschluss verschiedener schiitischer Gruppen . Der Name der Organisation ist koranischen Ursprungs.Im Libanon ist sie einerseits eine politische Partei, die seit 1992 auch im Parlament vertreten ist. Zur Zeit stellt sie 14 von 128 Parlamentsabgeordneten und den Energieminister in der aktuellen libanesischen Regierung. Andererseits verfügt sie aber nach wie vor über paramilitärische Einheiten, die insbesondere im Süden des Landes unabhängig von der libanesischen Staatsgewalt agieren. Die Hisbollah verfolgt sowohl sozialpolitische Ziele, etwa im Bereich Bildung und Gesundheitswesen, als auch außenpolitische Strategien .Die USA, Israel und einige andere Staaten betrachten die Hisbollah als Terrororganisation. Der Rat der Europäischen Union führt die Hisbollah in seiner am 29. Mai 2006 veröffentlichten Liste von Terrororganisationen nicht auf, während das EU-Parlament in einer Entschließung aus dem März 2005 von „terroristischen Aktivitäten seitens der Hisbollah“ spricht.----------------------------------------------------
