Understanding Hizballah’s Designation
Hizballah (also spelled Hezbollah) has been on the U.S. Department of State’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations since 1997. Originating in the early 1980s in Lebanon, Hizballah has been accused of multiple terrorist acts and is known for its anti-Western, anti-Israeli stance. Providing support, whether financial, logistical, or personal (such as one’s own skillset), to Hizballah is strictly prohibited under U.S. law.
For detailed information on Hizballah’s FTO designation, visit the U.S. Department of State website.
