Answer 1Hamas originates primarily from Palestine.Hezbollah originates primarily from Lebanon.Both organizations are considered terrorist groups by the US & Israel.Answer 2There are a few major differences between the two groups:Religious Affiliation and ProselytismHamas: Hamas considers itself Sunni and does not see proselytism as terribly important as the overwhelming majority of Palestinians are Sunni Muslims.Hezbollah: Hezbollah considers itself to be Shiite Muslim and operates in countries where Shiites are a minority (primarily Syria and Lebanon). Therefore Hezbollah actively tries to proselytize Shiite Islam to the Sunni Muslim population.Methods of Government ControlHamas: Hamas militants have actually evicted the de jure Palestinian Authority Government after issues in setting up a multi-party state. Hamas maintains sole control of the Gaza Strip and has no representation in any government outside of the Gaza Strip. Hamas is headquartered in Damascus, yet has no say in the Syrian governmentHezbollah: Hezbollah is an active part of both the Lebanese and Syrian regimes where it operates. It has government ministers in Lebanon that serve alongside other Shiite and non-Shiite confessional representatives. However, when things did not go according to Hezbollah's desires, they rioted in central Beirut. In Syria, it has committed members to operating alongside the Shiite Alawite Regime of Bashar Al-Assad. Hezbollah considers itself part of governments, but not exclusively.Territories of OperationHamas: While Hamas headquarters are in Damascus, the organization spends most of its time and effort in Palestine (and attacks into Israel).Hezbollah: Hezbollah spends the majority of its efforts domestically in Syria and Lebanon and occasionally attacks Israel.Military HardwareHamas: Hamas has a large variety of simple rockets, equipped pick-up trucks, and knowledge of how to assemble bombs. Hamas can effectively fight guerrilla wars and thug-type engagements, but does not have aircraft, armored cars, or missile weaponry.Hezbollah: Hezbollah has all of the types of armaments that Hamas has, but does have armored cars, simple tanks, long-range Soviet missiles and other more established military technologies.
