What is Hezbollah and how powerful is it?

  • Summary

  • The threat of an all-out conflict between Israel and Hezbollah seems to be edging closer after Israel rejected Lebanon ceasefire plans.

    The Iranian-backed militant group has been a force in Middle East politics and conflict for decades, but has suffered heavy losses in the last few weeks after Israeli attacks. Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn about how much support Hezbollah has within Lebanon and Iran's role with the group.

    Plus, defence and security editor Deborah Haynes talks to Niall about how significant Hezbollah's military capabilities are.
