Does anyone know what the yellow flag is with the Arabic script and a rifle symbol?

The flag is the flag of Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

Cheers for translating.

I thought it was, as I recognised the symbol, which is why it got snapped, but I don't read Arabic.

The juxtapotioning of it with a church spire made for a very powerful visual statement, with just seconds to capture the moment.

If anyone out there can translate the Arabic messages on the other flags in the pictures here, please let enlighten us, which is another reason why I posted those shots, as well as for reportage!
