Lebanese Reactions to Rocket Fire on Israel Show Support for Hizbullah Is Waning
(Ha'aretz) Jack Khoury - In the latest exchange of fire, Israel struck an open area in Lebanon without causing damage or inflicting any casualties, so Hizbullah's response was the same. But on social media, residents of the Druze village of Chouaya in Lebanon located the launcher used to fire rockets at Israel and gave the Hizbullah operatives a piece of their mind. If they want to shoot, why do it from a Druze village? Some accused Hizbullah of trying to deflect attention from the country's economic and political crisis. Hizbullah no longer enjoys the popular support it had before the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Lebanon is collapsing, both economically and socially.
