The Hawk of Lebanon
Script error: No such module "Unsubst".Template:Short description "The Hawk of Lebanon" (Template:Langx) is a popular song in the Arab world about Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The song was written by little known Palestinian boy band Firkat al-Shamal (Band of the North) at the height of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.
The lyrics consist of constant repetition of a few simple rhymes: "Hey, you, hawk of Lebanon. Hey, you, Nasrallah. Your men are from Hezbollah and victory is yours with God's help." Lead singer and manager Alaa Abu al-Haija, 28, said he gives the audiences what they want to hear. "I see people turning toward Islam, so I have to sing to that," said Alaa.[1]
Palestinian fever for the song brought together supporters of Hamas and Fatah who are usually divided in the Palestinian society.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
