The Jihad Council of Hezbollah is a council responsible for directing the groups' military and security activities. It also exercises considerable influence over the organization's various civilian branches and maintains ties with external partners, including the Iranian regime,[1] a key patron of the group.[2]
Established in 1995, the council operates under the direct supervision of Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, and is subordinate to Hezbollah's Shura Council.[1]
The Jihad Council is involved in activities against Israel, including Unit 133, which conducts operations within Israeli territory and the Palestinian Authority, recruiting Palestinians living in Lebanon for military missions and gathering intelligence across Eastern Europe to carry out activities against Israeli targets.[1][3] The council's involvement underscores its strategic role in Hezbollah's activities against Israel and in the broader regional context.[4][5][2]
