April 24, 2019 press@uani.com Eye on Hezbollah Website Timeline Chronicles Key Events in History of Iranian Proxy UANI's Hezbollah.org Follows Terror Group Year by Year (New York, N.Y.) - United Against Nuclear Iran's (UANI) website, Eye on Hezbollah, tracks the Lebanese terror group from its inception as a small Shiite militia in 1982 to Iran's primary tool for projecting its power and influence. Extensive financial and military support from Iran has enabled Hezbollah to build a "state within a state" and attack Iran's enemies around the world. The Eye on Hezbollah timeline features the year-by-year military and political events that have defined the group since its formation almost 40 years ago. For example:  In 1983, Hezbollah operatives drive two explosives-laden trucks into separate buildings housing the Multinational Force in Lebanon peacekeepers, killing 241 U.S. Marines, 58 French paratroopers, and 6 Lebanese civilians.  On March 17, 1992, Hezbollah bombs the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, killing 23. Two years later, backed by Iran, Hezbollah bombs the AMIA Jewish Center in Buenos Aires, killing 85 and wounding 150.  In late September 1992, Hezbollah runs in Lebanon's first parliamentary elections held since 1972, winning 12 seats.  April 19, 2005, Trad Hamade, a non-official member of Hezbollah, is appointed as minister of labor in Prime Minister Najib Miqati's cabinet, a first for the group.  In July 2006, Hezbollah begins its second war with Israel by launching a raid into northern Israel, killing eight Israeli soldiers and kidnapping two. In the 34-day war, 121 Israeli soldiers and as many as 800 Hezbollah fighters are killed.  On May 25, 2013, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah admits for the first time that Hezbollah has been fighting on behalf of Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian Civil War.  On October 31, 2016, Hezbollah's ally Michel Aoun is elected president of Lebanon. Iran declares his election a "victory for Nasrallah."   In September 2018, reports emerge that captured and wounded Houthi fighters admitted to receiving training from Hezbollah military experts in Yemen.  To explore the timeline feature on Eye on Hezbollah, please click here.
