Terror is Hizballah’s response to virtually everything, because it’s the only tool Allah gives them in the Qur’an: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards founded Hezbollah in 1982 during Lebanon’s 1975-90 civil war, part of Tehran’s effort to export its 1979 Iranian Revolution and fight Israeli forces that had invaded Lebanon in 1982.
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem threatened Israel directly for the first time in months in a televised speech on Tuesday, saying missiles would fall on it if it resumed a broad war on Lebanon.

“Hezbollah ministers walk out of cabinet meeting as Beirut approves US disarmament plan,” Times of Israel, August 7, 2025:
The Lebanese government approved on Thursday the objectives of a US proposal that would ultimately lead to disarming the Hezbollah terror group.
Hezbollah ministers and Muslim Shi’ite allies walked out of the cabinet’s discussion on the plan, three Lebanese political sources told Reuters, days after the Iran-backed group lashed out at an earlier announcement of a plan to disarm Hezbollah, calling the move a “grave sin” and vowing to act “as if it did not exist.”
Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morcos said that the cabinet accepted the principles of the US proposal — including “the gradual end of the presence of non-state armed groups in the country, including Hezbollah, both north and south of the Litani River,” but said that the full details of the plan were not discussed in depth.
Morcos stated that the principles to which Lebanon agreed also include “ensuring Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the cessation of all hostilities, including ground, aerial and maritime violations,” as well as the establishment of a permanent border between Israel and Lebanon and between Syria and Lebanon, and that all countries mentioned must commit to the agreement.
In a press conference following the cabinet meeting, Morcos was asked how Hezbollah’s disarmament would be carried out in light of the group’s refusal to cooperate. He responded that the decisions would be implemented in accordance with a plan to be submitted by the Lebanese Army by the end of August, which will include a timeline for disarmament by the end of 2025.
According to a copy of the Lebanese cabinet agenda reviewed by Reuters, the US proposal — submitted by US President Donald Trump’s envoy to the region, Tom Barrack — set out the most detailed steps yet for disarming the Iran-backed Hezbollah and for a full Israeli withdrawal from five key posts in south Lebanon….
