وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا

صدق الله العظيم

🇱🇧 In the 2006 war, Hezbullah's rockets accidentally fell on an Arab town in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948, killing two Palestinians.

At the time, Hezbullah did not deny responsibility, but rather confirmed it and apologized for the unintended mistake.

Sayyed spoke about the matter in a speech he gave during the war and offered his condolences to the families of the martyrs.

I recall that incident to say that the party has the courage to admit the mistake, which lends credibility to its denial today of responsibility for the fall of a missile in the occupied Syrian town of Majdal Shams.
