Hizballah is an Iranian-backed terrorist network supported with global reach that poses a direct threat to Israel and to American interests at home and abroad. Hizballah has killed more Americans than any terrorist group other than al-Qaeda and has launched dozens of attacks against Israel since it withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000. Today, the U.S.-designated terrorist group holds veto power over the Lebanese government with 11 cabinet positions at the same time it has amassed as many as 60,000 short- and long-range rockets aimed at Israel.
