A Lebanese tragedy

The only thing worse than having one of your armed forces personnel "slain" by a well armed and overseas sponsored militia that you've allowed to take over your country, is when said militia spokesman then presumes to speak for you, your country, and your mission:
"Hizbullah also extended its "deepest" condolences to the family of Hanna and to the Lebanese Army. "First Lieutenant Hanna is not only a martyr of the Lebanese Army but also a martyr of the resistance," the Hizbullah statement added."
Yes, well, if I was a Lebanese politician, I would respond something like this:

"Why don't you fuck off and die you Iranian running dog?!? The Lebanese army wants nothing to do with you and your "resistance" and in fact you are endangering the whole of Lebanon by provoking an extremely powerful neighbour with your continued provocations"

But...I'm not a Lebanese politician, and I doubt there's enough
nuance in that statement for it to be effective in political circles.

A fuel tank has detonated in a thickly populated zone of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, murdering, in any event, four individuals and harming 20. The impact happened after the tank burst into flames in the Tariq-al-Jdide area.
