Hezbollah Social Services Recipients
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I see that the page is still quite basic and could use addition of information. I am considering editting the page by adding information about the dynamics of receiving social services from Hezbollah. Specifically, I am going to clarify who exactly receives what type of services and why. Not only does Hezbollah have a core base of supports who receive most of the party's social provision, but also Hezbollah provides social services out-group civillians who are not Shiites. Below are some of the sources I intend to refer to:

Cammett, Melani. Compassionate Communalism. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2014.

Haddad, Simon. "Explaining Lebanese Shii Adherence to Hezbollah: Alienation, Religiosity and Welfare Provision." Defense & Security Analysis 29, no. 1 (2013): 16-29.

Pascovich, Eyal. "Social-Civilian Apparatuses of Hamas, Hizballah, and Other Activist Islamic Organizations." Domes (Milwaukee, Wis.) 21, no. 1 (2012): 126-48.

Ranstorp, Magnus. "The Strategy and Tactics of Hizballah's Current 'Lebanonization Process'." Mediterranean Politics (Frank Cass & Co.) 3, no. 1 (1998): 103-34.

Tagliabue, Sofia Maria. "Inside Hezbollah: The Al-Mahdi Scouts, Education, and Resistance." Domes (Milwaukee, Wis.) 24, no. 1 (2015): 74-95.

Wiegand, Krista E. "Reformation of a Terrorist Group: Hezbollah as a Lebanese Political Party." Studies in Conflict and Terrorism 32, no. 8 (2009): 669-80.

My question is this, do you think I should just add this information to the exisiting summary paragraph or should I create a new sub-heading? I am asking this because, the summary covers multiple topics that can be potentially segmented into sub-topics and expanded on, so it may be awkward to have a specfic section dealing with the aformentioned topic.

Iran's support to Hezbollah social services
Dear all readers,

Since I am working on a project about Hezbollah social services, I am planning to add a new section to this page.

I was thinking about a section which talks about Iran's influence in and support to the social services of Hezbollah. I would like to add this to the page, because I think it is a crucial part in understanding the social services of Hezbollah. And, since Hezbollah's links to Iran are so strong, it is a subtopic that cannot be left out.

While doing some research about the topic, I read a lot about support in terms of money and military, but could also find other information. If someone knows other good sources regarding the topic, I would like to hear about the suggestions. The following sources I want to use in my research:
