Some years ago a Melkite Greek Catholic bishop from Lebanon told me that Hizballah was made up of wonderful people who ran schools and hospitals. Hizballah is not as popular among Christians in Lebanon now as it was then.
“2 dead in Lebanon clashes between Hezbollah and residents of Christian town,” AFP, August 9, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BEIRUT — Two people were killed in Lebanon on Wednesday in clashes between members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group and residents of a Christian town, officials on both sides said.
The deadly violence broke out after a truck overturned on a road cutting through the town of Kahale, which residents claim was carrying weapons for the powerful Shiite movement.
Kahale mayor Abdo Abi Khalil said after the accident, residents of the town surrounded the truck demanding to know what was inside.
Hezbollah members escorting the truck opened fire at the residents to keep them at bay, killing one person, Abi Khalil said.
In a statement, Hezbollah said that one of its members was wounded during the incident and later died of his injuries….

Doesn’t sound like a ‘clash” unless enquiring minds are now using weapons to ask their questions.
What’s the term when a soldier kills a fellow soldier? On purpose, it’s fragging. But in error? The word escapes me at the moment.
Did the hezbollah shoot one of their own? or was he fatally wounded by a question?
We know questioning a devout mozlum can “hurt his feelings”…but can it kill?
And why was this hezbollah truck full of weapons going through a Christian town?
