Syrians praise Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah
Since the conflict along Israel’s northern border has heated up in recent days, some Syrians have publicly praised Israel’s attacks against Hezbollah.
In the ongoing civil war in Syria, Hezbollah has assisted the government of Bashar Al-Assad against the Syrian rebels.
Syrians who support the overthrow of the Assad government have praised Israel’s recent attacks, given that Hezbollah is a mutual enemy.
“Even if the devil himself came and killed Hezbollah’s thugs, we’d be just as happy,” said Syrian journalist Hadi al-Abdallah.
Abdallah posted a video on 𝕏 which “shows footage from Hezbollah’s operations in Syria, recounting the group’s cruelty,” Ynet News reported.
“Blind hatred,” Abdallah said while describing one Hezbollah attack against Syrian rebels. “They attacked civilian homes and everyone in them—women, children, the elderly. All that mattered to them was that they were killing.”
Ynet also described a report from Saudi Arabian news outlet Al Arabiya, which covered the reactions of several Syrians to the news of Hezbollah’s exploding pagers and walkie-talkies.
“The pagers exploded. What great news,” one man said. “We Syrians aren’t used to hearing such good news.”
Another Syrian citizen said Hezbollah has killed many in his town, including members of his family and a small child.
“My problem with Hezbollah is that they killed my brother and my cousins,” he recounted. “They killed our neighbor's daughter, a baby less than a year old, while she was in her mother’s arms. They killed my people in Madaya. My problem with Hezbollah is that they destroyed my country.”
Others noted the influence of Iran, saying that the attack on Hezbollah was a victory against the regime, saying: “All the free people and those oppressed by Iran and its militias have the right to rejoice today.”
