Steps from Israel's border, a nine-year-old girl waves the flag of the militant Islamic group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in 2005.

Veteran photographer Alexandra Avakian is the first Western photojournalist to gain access to Hezbollah in five years. She recently spoke to National Geographic News podcast host Patty Kim about her experience documenting the lives of Hezbollah members.

See a gallery of Avakian's Hezbollah photos.
