Israel killed Rafiq Hariri in 2005. Here’s why:

- Hariri legitimized Hezbollah’s anti-Israel resistance

- to frame Syria and Hezbollah thus stripping them from Sunni and national support in Lebanon

- to force Syria out of Lebanon

-to isolate and attack Hezbollah later in 2006 https://twitter.com/ap/status/1295687431803604992
It can also be suggested that Hezbollah was the most harmed by the assassination. The attack sustained more anti-Syria politics in the country which led to a national movement (the cedar revolution) against Syria leading to a swift withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon
Hezbollah was then isolated in a country where the group once enjoyed influential support and a strategic backing against Israeli aggressions and “Americanism” and was forced into a new era of a hostile foreign guardianship over Lebanon.

The next year Israel attacked Hezbollah
Hariri had good relations with Hezbollah and defended its legitimate right to defend Lebanon from Israel when the Lebanese Army cannot do so.
So why would Hezbollah assassinate a semi-ally that restored the group’s hopes of maintaining legitimacy and military power in Lebanon?
Hezbollah leader, Mr. Nasrallah, presented proof of Tel Aviv’s involvement in the assassination by showing footages from an Israeli spy drone stalking Hariri’s movements and the assassination location. Why isn’t this regarded along with other claims? https://www.english.alahednews.com.lb/essaydetails.php?eid=35395&cid=390
Why isn’t anyone talking about the false-witnesses who lied about being Syrian Intelligence and Hezbollah members and alleged Syria and Hezbollah were involved in the assassination?

Or when Hariri the son openly said that they falsely accused Syria using political grounds only?
Lebanon wasted $1 billion and 15 years on an international criminal court for them to say that they dont know who killed Hariri and how the assassination happened but was able to “prove” one person guilty. One person

And some Lebanese want the ICC to investigate the #BeirutBlast
The community of the accused of assassinating hariri is supporting him against what they called false and unjust accusations.

Anti hezbollah twitter thinks they are convincingly celebrating Hariri’s killer.

They’ll believe anything now to overcome their harsh disappointment
