What are relations between Lebanon and Israel?
Lebanon and Israel are in a de jure State of War. There are no diplomatic relations between the two nations at ANY level and Lebanese entrants may have their entry denied if the border patrol sees any evidence of Israeli entrance on a passport. (Israel does not reciprocate this forbidding of entrance, but Israeli officials do get angry when they see Lebanese stamps in a passport.) There are no border crossing and citizens of each country cannot visit the other country.
On the flip side, a small part of the Israeli population traces Lebanese Jewish Heritage.
In terms of political history, Lebanon was one of the seven Arab nations that tried to destroy Israel in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. After Israel's success, Lebanon abstained from the Six-Day War of 1967 and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. Israel invaded Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War in order to force the PLO out of Lebanon. During that period, Israel allied with Lebanese Christian Phalangist Movements against the Sunni and Shiite Moslem coalitions and the Syrian Invaders. Israel retreated in 1982 to occupy a southern portion of the country, which it relinquished in 2000. In 2006, Israel invaded Lebanon again after Hezbollah captured 2 Israeli Border Soldiers. Hezbollah reciprocated with Katyusha Missile Attacks. The Israel-Hezbollah War lasted for a few months before Israeli troops withdrew back to the Israeli border.

What do Hezbollah and Hamas have in common?
Hamas and Hezbollah are Arab Muslim Terrorist and Paramilitary Organizations. Hamas operates out of Syria and the Gaza Strip while Hezbollah operates out of Syria and Lebanon.
General Characteristics
The most common and identifiable Hamas terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself while Hezbollah and Hamas have increasingly used missiles and rockets. These organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Hamas and Hezbollah will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. (Hamas is avowedly Sunni, but accepts Shiites because Iran provides most of its funding. Hezbollah is Shiite and does not recognize the validity of Sunni Islam.) Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Since Hamas and Hezbollah exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Hamas and Hezbollah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.

Answer 1
Hezbollah (Arabic: حزب الله Ḥizbu 'llāh, literally "Party of Allah" or "Party of God") is a Shiite
Islamic militant
group that operates primarily out of Lebanon. It also has numerous secondary wings such a political party and healthcare services. Its primary source of funding and ideology is the Islamic Republic of Iran. Due to its actions against civilians, most Western governments and some Arab governments have recognized Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. However, due to its strong showing against Israel in the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah is seen favorably by Arabs for resisting Israel.
Hezbollah claims that its opposition to Israel is rooted in both political considerations and from their understanding of the requirements of Islamic Jihad. This dual prong makes it difficult for other Muslims to condemn them, since even if they disagree with Hezbollah's interpretation of Islam, they do not disagree with the political considerations (namely Lebanese and Palestinian independence).
Answer 2
Hezbollah is a Shi'a Islamist political and paramilitary organisation based in Lebanon. The core of the Hezbollah organization (also spelled Hizballah, Hezbullah and other variants, meaning 'Party of God') in Lebanon comes from 'Iranian Revolutionary Guards' sent to Lebanon in 1982, at the time of Israel's invasion of Southern Lebanaon designed to oust the PLO. They went to assist in the establishment of a revolutionary Islamic movement whose members would participate in the 'Jihad', Holy War, against Israel from bases in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution and establishment of an Islamic Republic in Iran, Hezbollah also dreamt of transforming Lebanon's multi-religion state into an Iranian-style Islamic state. Its ideology, as expressed in declarations by its leadership, maintained that Israel had no legitimacy as a state, and that it must be fought until Jerusalem, meaning all of Israel, is liberated.
