Hello, and thank you for your question.
There are currently 11 elected members of the Lebanon Parliament
affiliated with Hizbollah (Hezbullah/Hizb'allah - the Party of God).
First, here is a consise list of members with their Muslim faction and
election regions taken from "Lebanon Parliament: 2000-2005
Legislature" at http://www.lebanonembassy.org/country_lebanon/parlam.html.
* Ali Ammar (Shiite, Mount Lebanon)
* Mohammad Berjaoui (Shiite, Beruit)
* Hussein Al-Hajj Hassan (Shiite, Bekaa)
* Ammar Al-Moussawi (Shiite, Bekaa)
* Mohammad Yaghi (Shiite, Bekaa)
* Ibrahim Bayan (Sunni, Bekaa)
* Mohammad Fneish (Shiite, South Lebanon)
* George Najm (Maronites, South Lebanon)
* Nazih Mansour (Shiite, South Lebanon)
* Mohammad Raad (Shiite, South Lebanon)
* Abdallah Qassir (Shiite, South Lebanon)
Now I will expand this list to include Name, Age, Profession, and
Source for the members who have this information available. See the
source link for additional information. I could not find ages or
occupations for Ali Ammar and Mohammad Yaghi. I found occupations for
but no ages for Mohammad Berjaoui or George Najm. To complete your
answer, I will contact the Lebanese Parliament offices for this
information via email at info@lp.gov.lb and will post the completed
information as soon as I have it.

Still nothing...
Short of calling members of the Hizbollah itself (their phone numbers
are at http://www.lebvote.com/LebVote/English/Directories/MP/Default.asp.),
I believe I have reached the limit of what I can find for you. I have
found almost no biographical information on either Ali Fadl Ammar or
Mohammad Hussein Yaghi. All I do know is that they were both elected
to the Lebanese Parliament in 1992 as members of Hizbollah, lost their
seats in 1996, and were then re-elected in 2000. Here is an extrememly
interesting evaluation of the 1992 Parliamentary election and how the
Hizbollah fits into it.
"Lebanon's Hizbullah: from Islamic revolution to parliamentary
accommodation," by A. Nizar Hamzeh. Third World Quarterly, Vol 14, No
2, 1993.
http://almashriq.hiof.no/ddc/projects/pspa/hamzeh2.html
Additional information for Ammar:
"Former member of the Amal Movement, joined Hizballah in 1983. Founder
of the Martyrs' Institution, which compensates the families of
Hizballah members killed in combat. Ran as an independent in Ba'abda."

I can give you the resources I used - maybe the email addresses will
come in handy in the future if you wish to pursue this information.
