None of the Druze killed in the attack were Israeli citizens.

[manayesh]

But those Druze chased away the israeli ministers at the funeral coz they are blaming the iron dome missile for this terrorist act.
The israelis behave the same way as apartheid south africa which used to hang activists because the apartheid policeman accidentally killed a white civilian whilst trying to shoot the activist. Then the apartheid judge would blame the activist for the death of a civilian.

Lebanon has the right to defend itself

[axe]

Why are the Israelis on Syrian territory?Are they innocent?

[C.HeyokaTerrier-jksc]

Why would Hezbollah attack arabs in Syra? Nonsensical. How about a Israeli Dome missile mess up (or fale mess up). Not the 1st time Israel would provoke itself into war.

[woIwkmw]

The druze commhnity support a free Palestinian state. Thats what lsr didn't like

[dvoravithanovsky]

Whom to believe? A serial liar like netanyahu or Nasrahlla who has no reason to lie?

[luiscornieles]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the IDF. They're about to go investigate themselves

[utubewatchinhesk]

Right when the pm goes to USA to ask for support and needs to cut short the trip

[kevinjenner]

Prior to the attack they were engaged in GNCD…Post attack they will be engaged in GNCD.

[henkwilliemadriannusvander]

Of course. Hezbollah has no reason to attack a Druze community. They have many Druze supporters in Lebanon as well.

It is the IOF's own handiwork. The same tactics were employed by the failed Austrian painter in Poland in 1939 to start the war.

[BaharulIslam-flqs]

The same attack, Israel has done more than a Thousand times in Gaza.
Where u were DW?

[mikicerise]

Okay. Israel is not responsible for the strikes in Lebanon either. They just happened. Maybe a bird did it.

[sharpderp]

a desperate Netanyahu hurriedly leaves the US so that he can send his newly conscripted orthodox troops into a saw mill

[alviverdeus]

This was Mossad trying to expand Netanyahu's war.

[dinoOvranic]

According to eyewitnesses, the rocket came from Israel side, so most probably one of the MUCH HYPED Iron Dome missiles..🤡

[johnhimal]

Israeli occupied Golan If you occupy others

[Cubaquois]

How do they reply?
It was a missile from the Iron Dome that lost target and crashed. Please say the truth at least. But the school in Lebanon was hit by an Israeli rocket.

[Kohen]

"There will be no place to hide."

[s-m-abidnizam]

The land is internationally recognised Syrian land, here Israel is an occupier, so they have no legal rights to do anything.
