A previously unreported Lebanese Hezbollah flag is shown in this photo on a blog [source]. According to the blogger, it is the flag of the Lebanese Islamic Resistance, which is apparently the armed wing of Hezbollah – a fact which came as something of a suprise to me, as I'd always been under the impression that Hezbollah was the armed wing of Hezbollah.

A better image of the logo is shown here.

Oddly enough, the "civil" Hezbollah flag contains a Kalashnikov, while its military wing limits itself to an old-fashioned fountain pen.
