A new report by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs reveals Hezbollah and Iran spent decades building a parallel education system in Lebanon to indoctrinate children with extremist ideology and prepare future generations of loyalists.
According to the report, the network now includes at least 22 Hezbollah-run schools educating around 47,000 students, alongside affiliated institutions. Children are reportedly taught concepts such as martyrdom, jihad and loyalty to Iran's "Guardianship of the Jurist" (Wilayat al-Faqih) from an early age.
The report says physical activities for children as young as five mimic military training, while Hezbollah's Imam al-Mahdi Scouts, estimated to have around 100,000 members, help channel youths into the group's ranks, with some recruited into Hezbollah's military from the age of 16.
It also uncovers that textbooks, magazines, and classroom activities glorify "resistance," martyrdom, and hostility toward Israel and the West, while songs praising the Iranian cause replace Lebanon's national anthem in some schools.
