The Hezballa is Lebanese and Islamic Shia'a. (...) The Shia'a has also another group in Lebanon which is called El-Amal, whose leader Nabia Beri is a minister in the Lebanese government.

I found in an old Time magazine (June 1985, with the cover article being about the TWA flight hijacked to Beirut) a picture of a masked man holding the flag of the Shi'ite Amal group.

This scan from Yediot Akhronot newspaper shows that the inner circle is not green as shown above but light blue. It may be not so clear in the scan but it is very clear on the original photo. Also, the diagonal stripes are on the fly not on the hoist and the logo is smaller than shown above.
