Hezbollah and its fighters operate with impunity in much of Lebanon. The government and its armed forces — composed of mainly Sunni Muslims and Christians — have been reluctant to try to force it to disarm for fear of sparking another civil war. Q: Who leads Hezbollah? A: Hassan Nasrallah is the group’s senior political leader. Sheik Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah is its spiritual leader.
