  • Hezbollah terrorists march on the Israeli flag in Iraq

The United States attacked five targets of the Hezbollah Battalion Terrorism in Iraq and Syria on Sunday (Sunday), sending a message to Iran's metastasis that an attack on its people, such as the one on Friday in Karkur in northern Iraq, will not go unanswered.

But while the Lebanese Hezbollah is a terrorist organization known for every home in Israel, the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades is a radically different organization that may draw inspiration and assistance from the Brotherhood in Dahiya, but is deeply linked to the Iranian attempt to impose its control on Iraq.

Hizbullah battalions fire missiles

The Hezbollah Battalion was formed in 2003 with the aim of fighting on the one hand the remnants of the Saddam Hussein and Sunni forces in Iraq and on the other during the US invasion of Iraq to produce pro-Iranian Shiite rule in the country. The founder of the organization was the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards. Under the baton of Kasim Suleimani, members of the organization underwent training and training in Lebanon.

In 2007, the organization launched a series of attacks against US forces in Iraq, causing them heavy casualties. The wave of attacks led to widespread action against the US military and the Iraqi government. The man behind the organization, an Iraqi citizen with Iranian citizenship and Quds force, Abu Mahdi Hadi al Mohandis, is considered a close adviser to Kassin Suleimani. The organization founded by Mohandis initially numbered less than two thousand people and suffered heavy casualties during the fighting with the United States Army.

Dangerous metastatic marginal player

The turning point that made Hezbollah's regimes much more significant in Iraq occurred in 2014, when ISIS terrorists threatened the centers of Iraq's Shiite population and defeat seemed possible. The organization was introduced under the auspices of the "Popular Recruitment" organization, Khashid a-Sha'abi, and began to receive increased support and advanced weapons from its Iranian patrons.

Under the broad Shi'ite umbrella, the organization gained an unprecedented increase in its power. In 2015, an organization boasted no fewer than 30,000 active fighters, some of whom were sent to Syria to assist Bashar al-Assad's regime in the civil war. Alongside its increase in power, the organization began to equip long-range rockets.

Last month, the New York Times reported that Iran was taking advantage of Iraqi anti-government protests to deliver advanced missiles to the Shiite militia, one of the milestones reported in the report was Hezbollah regiments. Last week, it was reported that following a wave of assaults attributed to Israel on the organization's facilities, Tehran ordered the organization to empty its warehouses and shutter the statewide missiles in civilian trucks located in humid areas to prevent air strikes.

The Hezbollah Battalion Organization is the prime suspect in the attack on the United States military base in the northern city of Karkuk on Friday, killing an American contractor and injuring several soldiers. In recent weeks, the organization has released several videos showing its people firing dozens of missiles at an unknown target.

While Hezbollah regiments are capable of harassing the United States with local missile strikes on Iraqi bases, the real concern is that the organization will serve as Tehran's extension to launch advanced missiles at Tehran's enemies, in the Persian Gulf or in Israel. While Iraq's political situation is a big question mark, it is clear that the exchange of battles between the organization and the United States is not really the end of the story.
