KH
Kataib Hezbollah
Kata'ib Hezbollah, also known as the Hezbollah Brigades, is an Iraqi Shia paramilitary group and a component of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), staffing the 45th, 46th, and 47th Brigades. It is considered the most powerful militia in Iraq. Despite KH being a formal part of Iraq's security apparatus through its affiliation with the Popular Mobilization Forces, the Iraqi government has since 2020 actively undertaken steps to combat its influence, including by conducting raids against Kataib Hezbollah in order to disarm armed groups that refuse to be controlled by the state.
