History
The Islamic Amal Shia movement was initially focused on social and economic issues, such as improving the living conditions of the Shia population and providing access to education and healthcare. However, the movement later became involved in armed resistance against the Israeli occupation of Lebanon and the Lebanese Civil War. During the Civil War, the Islamic Amal Shia movement formed an alliance with other Shia Muslim groups, such as Hezbollah, to resist the Israeli occupation and fight against other militias in Lebanon. The movement also became involved in sectarian conflict with Sunni Muslims and Palestinian groups. ==References==
