The Shia militiamen were running on foot into the Israeli gunfire to launch grenades at the Israeli armour, actually moving to within 20 feet of the tanks to open fire at them. Some of the Shia fighters had torn off pieces of their shirts and wrapped them around their heads as bands of martyrdom as the <a href="/wiki/IRGC" class="mw-redirect" title="IRGC">Iranian revolutionary guards</a> had begun doing a year before when they staged their first mass attacks against the <a href="/wiki/Iraqi_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="Iraqi Army">Iraqis</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Iran-Iraq_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Iran-Iraq War">Gulf War a thousand miles to the east</a>. When they set fire to one Israeli armoured vehicle, the gunmen were emboldened to advance further. None of us, I think, realised the critical importance of the events of Khalde that night. The Lebanese Shia were learning the principles of martyrdom and putting them into practice. Never before had we seen these men wear headbands like this; we thought it was another militia affectation but it was not. It was the beginning of a legend which also contained a strong element of truth. The Shia were now the Lebanese resistance, nationalist no doubt but also inspired by their religion. The party of God – in Arabic, the Hezbollah – were on the beaches of Khalde that night.<sup id="cite_ref-PitytheNation_82-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PitytheNation-82"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1980s">1980s</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Lebanese_civil_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Lebanese civil war">Lebanese civil war</a> and <a href="/wiki/South_Lebanon_conflict_(1985%E2%80%932000)" title="South Lebanon conflict (1985–2000)">South Lebanon conflict (1985–2000)</a></div> <p>Hezbollah emerged in <a href="/wiki/South_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="South Lebanon">South Lebanon</a> during a consolidation of <a href="/wiki/Shia_Islam_in_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="Shia Islam in Lebanon">Shia</a> militias as a rival to the older <a href="/wiki/Amal_Movement" title="Amal Movement">Amal Movement</a>.
