Actually the point about Hezbollah not being entirely formed of Shia is true. Although it's still a Shi'ite fundamentalist party, its militia includes non-Shia contingents, even some southern Lebanese Christian members. The party has been somewhat successful at broadening its appeal since the 2006 war.

Also, Hezbollah is currently allied with the mostly Maronite Christian FPM, under their former opponent General Aoun!
