“Who betrayed Hezbollah?” This question has obsessed the Lebanese since the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Shiite movement. In the streets of Beirut, usually lively but now deserted, conspiracy theories are multiplying. Surprisingly, the accusations are not aimed at Israel, but at Iran.
“They abandoned him,” murmur some residents, quoted by Ynet. “Nasrallah was adored in Tehran, leader Khamenei brought him closer, made him an ally – then abandoned him.” Others point the finger at Syrian intelligence services. A local journalist reports: “Someone sold out Hezbollah, and Israel managed to locate the exact location of the organization’s leadership.”
The attack that led to Nasrallah’s elimination was of an unusual scale. The explosions were felt dozens of kilometers away, reminiscent of the Beirut port mega-explosion in 2020. Despite the evidence, some Hezbollah supporters remain incredulous. “This man, Hassan Nasrallah, will not die,” they say, still waiting to see him appear on television.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation is worsening. Refugees from Dahiyeh, the Shiite neighborhood of Beirut, find themselves homeless. A witness describes: “They cry, destitute of everything, wandering in space and refusing to believe that this disaster has fallen on them,” reports Ynet.
Reception centers are overcrowded, forcing many refugees to sleep in their cars or on the streets. The economic crisis is deepening: rent prices have tripled. “An apartment that cost $1,000 two weeks ago now costs $3,000,” says a local source, while power cuts last at least nine hours a day.
