-
The news of the assassination of Hussein Ali Ghandoor, a prominent leader in Lebanon’s Hezbollah, in an Israeli airstrike, has sparked reactions among Syrians who recalled painful memories of crimes c
Many social media users expressed their feelings about this event, with some describing Ghandoor as “the primary figure responsible for starving Syrians and burying them alive.” Users shared stories and testimonies recounting atrocities that the late leader was allegedly involved in.
It is believed that Ghandoor held a leadership position in Hezbollah’s military operations inside Syrian territory, where he contributed to supporting the Syrian regime during years of conflict. This intervention exacerbated the suffering of Syrian civilians in numerous areas.
Some activists spoke of Ghandoor's role in besieging Syrian towns and cities, leading to severe shortages of food and medicine. Others accused him of participating in the forced displacement of populations from their original areas.
While the Israeli airstrike that killed Ghandoor is considered a violation of Lebanese sovereignty, Syrian reactions revealed a deep level of pain and bitterness towards Hezbollah's interventions in their internal affairs.
In a related context, analysts noted that the targeting of a high-profile figure like Ghandoor could lead to heightened tensions in the region, particularly between Israel and Hezbollah. It also highlights the ongoing regional conflict that extends beyond the borders of Syria and Lebanon.
Observers believe that this incident underscores the necessity of addressing unresolved issues in Syria, including accountability for crimes committed during the years of war, and finding a comprehensive political solution that guarantees the return of stability to the region.
