“…Its involvement in regional conflicts, including the support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime in the Syrian Civil War, positioned it as a critical actor in the broader Middle East.

This paper delves into the intricate relationship between Hezbollah, the Shiite militant organization based in Lebanon, and Russian Intelligence Agencies (RIA). The collaboration between Hezbollah and RIA represents a complex interplay of geopolitical interests, regional dynamics, and strategic objectives. The paper examines the historical context of their relationship, the motivations behind their cooperation, the nature of their interactions, and the implications for regional and global security. Drawing upon a multidisciplinary approach that combines insights from Political Science, International Relations, Intelligence studies, and Middle Eastern studies, provides a comprehensive analysis of this collaboration. It also explores the broader implications for the Middle East, Russia's role in the region, and the challenges it poses to international efforts to counter terrorism and promote stability.

“…This study instead reexamines these assumptions and asks how various Christian denominations, Sunnis, Druze, and others, that is to say non-Shi'a sectarian groups in Lebanon, perceive Hezbollah and its activities in the region. This question has rarely been investigated (rare exceptions include Haddad 2005Haddad , 2006Haddad , 2013. The existing literature overlooks both the fact that this movement has garnered significant popularity from other sectarian groups like Maronites, Druze, and Sunnis, albeit to differing degrees, as well as the larger question of what drives this support, which has from time to time extended well beyond Lebanon.…”

This study delves into how non-Shi‘a Lebanese assess Hezbollah and its activities. Having provided empirical evidence that Hezbollah has garnered positive perception in Lebanon, it asks what explains a substantial increase or decrease in favorable attitudes toward Hezbollah among Christians, Sunnis, and Druze? It argues that those who perceive Hezbollah as a resistance organization, as it often describes itself; the political alliance across sectarian groups; as well as insecurity caused by armed groups such as Sunni militant groups and ISIS, all combine to moderate people's views toward Hezbollah. Using an original, nationally representative face-to-face survey in Lebanon in 2015 and employing a multivariate statistical method, it finds that those who hold unfavorable views of the United States, those who support the political alliance of which Hezbollah is part, and those who support the Assad regime in Syria are likely to have a positive perception of Hezbollah and or its activities in the region.
