Syrians Celebrating Soleimani's Death
(Ha'aretz) Elizabeth Tsurkov - Conversations with Syrians who survived shelling, siege, starvation and displacement at the hands of pro-Iranian militias guided by the Quds Force leader show that the decision to target Soleimani earned their resounding support. The rush of joy felt by Syrians who had lost their loved ones, homes and towns to militias created and supported by the Quds Force was expressed widely, both online and off-line. Displaced individuals, seeped in trauma, spent several days posting jokes and celebrating. The writer is a Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.
