Lebanese security forces have launched an investigation on Thursday into posters calling for revenge against Hezbollah over the victims of Majdal Shams. The posters were found in the Druze-majority area of Choueifat, south of Beirut in the Aley district, residents told L'Orient Today.
On July 27, 12 children and adolescents were killed in Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights. Israel blamed Hezbollah for the incident, a claim the group has strongly and repetitively denied. Majdal Shams is a contested area claimed by Israel, where most residents hold Israeli passports, but many identify as Syrian Arabs.
In retaliation, the Israeli army killed senior Hezbollah military commander Fouad Shukur in Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, along with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
