Footage shows Hezbollah supporters setting fire to a 'Lebanon First' sign, an analyst assesses. The analyst states that Hezbollah serves Iran's regime, has hijacked Lebanon, and ruined its future — a view that echoes statements from Lebanese political and civil society leaders as reported in recent days.
An analyst assessment shared Sunday morning describes a video of Hezbollah supporters burning a 'Lebanon First' sign, interpreting the act as evidence that the organization serves only Iran and has hijacked Lebanon's future. The sign, part of a campaign widely seen as a push for Lebanese sovereignty, has been adopted by anti-Hezbollah voices in Lebanon, including Christian leaders and even former allies. As The Zioneer has reported over the past weeks, Lebanese political figures have increasingly blamed Hezbollah for the country's suffering: the Lebanese foreign minister called Hezbollah 'an unlawful military organization and an Iranian arm' on June 11, and the Lebanese president last week told Iran, 'This is not your country.' The analyst's commentary aligns with that trend, but the video itself has not been independently verified and the assessment is from a single source. The incident, if confirmed, would signify a rare visible confrontation between Hezbollah supporters and the Lebanese sovereignty-themed campaign.
