Syrische Reaktionen auf Verluste der Hizbollah

Nicht nur in der iranischen Bevölkerung, auch unter syrischen Oppositionellen ist die Hizbollah mehr als unbeliebt. Entsprechend fallen die Reaktionen aus.

Dies ist eine von vielen Messages, die ich von syrischen Bekannten in den letzten Tagen bekommen habe:

"I seldomly was as happy as I was when I heard about the cyber attack on Hezbollah. These are criminals and they deserve this kind of punishment.

They raped women and killed children in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and many countries. All Syrians are happy now. 

What makes me happiest is that they were killed because they are so stupid. Every time they are attacked I discover that they are stupid and have nothing, just slogans."

Ganz ähnliche Statements hat auch Ynet gesammelt:

Many Syrians, especially the Sunni population, have not forgotten Hezbollah's brutal role in their country's civil war, where it indiscriminately slaughtered their friends and families. (...)

Syrian journalist Hadi al-Abdallah posted a video on X explaining why some Syrians oppose Hezbollah, consider its members terrorist, and celebrate each Israeli strike against the group. In a video he shared on Thursday, he emphasized that it doesn’t matter who attacks Hezbollah: "Even if the devil himself came and killed Hezbollah’s thugs, we’d be just as happy."

Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya network also published a video highlighting the celebratory reactions in Syria after last week’s explosions targeting Hezbollah communication devices in Lebanon. In one scene, a man is shown handing out sweets, saying, "This is to mark the deaths of some, or many, of Iran’s party members in Lebanon (Hezbollah)." 

Another clip features a man saying, "The pagers exploded. What great news. We Syrians aren’t used to hearing such good news." The video also included reactions from Syrian users on X, many of whom oppose Hezbollah. 

One user wrote, "My problem with Hezbollah is that they killed my brother and my cousins. 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."
