I had already heard that Hezbollah isn't just a group, they're a proper military force. But I just did a search after seeing some headlines, and wikipedia doesn't mince words. Wikipedia, of all sites (I mean, known for control by the tribe we've come to know and love.) > Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and militant group,[1][2] has an exceptionally strong military wing, thought to be stronger than the Lebanese Army,[3][4] and equivalent to the armed strength of a medium-sized army.[5][a] A hybrid force, the group maintains "robust conventional and unconventional military capabilities",[7] and is generally considered the most powerful non-state actor in the world. Makes me feel like that scene in Rambo - First Blood, the part where they find out he's a green beret. "The guy's a war hero!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah_armed_strength Actually might watch the movie again soon, it's one of my favorites.
