Answer 1

Hezbollah[1](Arabic: حزب الله‎ ḥizbu-llāh,[2] meaning “party of God”) is a Shia Islamist organization in Lebanon. It follows a distinct version of Islamic Shia ideology developed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.[3][4] The organization began to take shape during the 1982 Lebanon War; on February 16, 1985 Sheik Ibrahim al-Amin publicly 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 an Islamic state, and the complete destruction of the state of Israel.[5]. [6] Hezbollah has abandoned the goal of transforming Lebanon into an Islamic republic [7], but continues to call for the destruction of Israel. Hezbollah has received arms, soldiers, and financial support from Iran, and many other sympathizers [8] and has "operated with Syria's blessing."[7] Hezbollah has grown to an organization which has seats in the Lebanese government, a militia, a radio and a satellite television station, and programs for social development. [9] Hezbollah's use of violent means to achieve some of their goals has caused some to label it as a terrorist organization, while others consider the violence to have been recriprocal to external aggression and a legitimate form of Jihad.

Since 1992, the current leader and Secretary-General of Hezbollah is Sheikh Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Answer 3

The Party of God.

I think this link may answer your question in a rather more satisfactory and perhaps less biased fashion.

It is a BBC link, so make of it what you will, keep an open mind of course, but it is, I feel, less likely to be tainted with hatred and false information than some media sources. The american media has a tendency to expand upon things somewhat, to further, one would assume, it`s own agenda by influencing public opinion to create a strong anti-Islam bias amongst its subjects, thereby validating in the public mind its support of certain groups and it`s continuing wars in the Middle-East.

We all need to find the truth, by definition, it is all that exists.
