Hezbollah was created in 1982 as a response to Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon.... Hezbollah has relied on the Islamic government of Iran for military and monetary aid .The party has since gained political legitimacy in Lebanon, currently holding 14 parliamentary seats, while the civilian branch of Hezbollah runs schools, orphanages and a television station.
In 1992, it participated in Lebanese elections for the first time, winning 12 out of 128 seats in parliament. It won 10 seats in 1996, and 8 in 2000. In the general election of 2005, it won 14 seats nationwide (of 128 total).

It was formed during the 1982 Lebanon War, and officially announced on February 16, 1985 when Sheik Ibrahim al-Amin declared the group's manifesto which included three goals: the eradication of Western Imperialism in Lebanon, the transformation of Lebanon's multi-confessional state into a Islamic state, and the complete destruction of the state of Israel. Hezbollah has abandoned the goal of transforming Lebanon into an Islamic republic, but continues to call for the elimination of “the Zionist entity” (i.e. Israel). Hezbollah has received arms, soliders, and financial support from Iran and has "operated with Syria's blessing."

It was formed as a resistance movement to counter the Israeli occupation of Lebanon in the mid 80s.
