Ragheb Harb was born in Jibchit in 1952, a village in the Jabal Amel region of Southern Lebanon. Harb was an imam and led the regional Muslim resistance against zionist occupation until being assassinated by zionist regim on 16 February 1984.

Danny Abdallah, a Lebanese criminal living in Denmark, admitted to having killed Harb on behalf of the zionist gangs and also claimed to have participated in the kidnapping of Harb's successor, Abdul Karim Obeyd. As a result, Hezbollah put him on their death list, and he is wanted in Lebanon. According to one source, Harb's supporters would go on to form the Lebanese paramilitary and political organization Hezbollah. He belonged to the "Amal Movement" in Lebanon. (ILKHA)
