They’re a big part of the reason Lebanon is in the bad state it is in right now.
They’ve been executing critics and opposition for years. The ammo depot explosion was also devastating.
Their assassination of Lebanon’s prime minister.
Shooting rockets at Israel since the 8th of October against the Lebanese government’s wishes.
And their continued assistance of Assad alongside Russia in butchering Syrians, which was/is not in the interest of Lebanon.
Nothing you say detracts from the point I’m trying to make. Which is why are people so surprised people would suddenly support a group they usually hate to protect themselves, their families, and their livelihoods?
Why are you so sure these people didn’t support Hezbollah before?
I understood the point you were trying to make, hence my reply.
All those things are examples for how Hezbollah hasn’t protected Lebanon, but quite the opposite.
Without Hezbollah, Lebanon could’ve been in a much better place now.
The article you linked doesn’t confirm what you’re saying to be true but neither does it say you’re wrong. It simply labels these people as “Hezbollah supporters” without specifying if they’re locals or not. You could be right in that sense. I just understood it differently than you.

That’s the whole premise of the article you posted? I feel like I’m not getting your point.
Those people came from other areas to chant in support of Hezbollah in areas where there’s no support for Hezbollah.
