Abstract

Violent non-state actors play an important role in situations of conflict or the outbreak of violence in a state, the state has become just an actor among many actors and no longer the only influential actor in international relations, and one of the most important non-state actors is what is known as non-state armed actors is  the Lebanese Hezbollah as who have cross-border influences, and it is also one of the actors who use violence to achieve specific goals that often differ with the goals of the Lebanese state; The importance of  it came as a result of the problem of minorities and loose borders in the Middle East, as it is the reason for the continuation of the Arab-Israeli conflict since the last century until now, and that conflict has moved from an internal conflict to a cross-border struggle during which Hezbollah gained great momentum through an extended history mixed with the struggle for liberation the land until the launch of its own agenda.
So that the party moved from the scope of the national liberation groups to the scope of armed non-state actors that serve their own goals and use violence and influence to achieve them internally or regionally and build a network of interactions with the rest of the region with which it is politically independent from the state to implement its own agenda and even seeks to impose A different religious-political identity.
