Syrian Hezbollah

Syrian Hezbollah was the Syrian branch of the Lebanese Shia political party and paramilitary organization, Hezbollah, fighting in the Syrian Civil War until it withdrew from Syria following the fall of the Assad regime in late 2024. The group was directly trained by the Lebanese Hezbollah, the IRGC, and formerly the Syrian Armed Forces. The group had fighters deployed in Damascus, Aleppo, Daraa, and Quneitra. Quwat al-Ridha had obscure links with Syrian Hezbollah. The group also participated in the 2023 attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria. On October 30, 2023, Syrian Hezbollah militants conducted rocket attacks targeting US forces stationed at Conoco gas fields in eastern Syria.
