French Hezbollah Sign Surprises on Beirut Airport Highway

Summary

In r/Lebanon, members discuss a French-language Hezbollah sign spotted on the airport highway in Beirut. The post contrasts it with the Arabic-only signs the observer recalls seeing in 2022 and 2023, and asks whether it may target French-speaking Lebanese diaspora communities or if similar signs have appeared elsewhere.

Un panneau de Hezbollah sûr l’autoroute de l’aéroport en français????? 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Je ne l’ai pas prévu du tout 🫠 ayant voyagé au Liban pendant plusieurs mois en 2022 et 2023, j’ai vu seulement l’arabe utilisé par Hezbollah - jamais l’anglais ou le français. Ça m’étonne beaucoup de voir ça. Mais pour Hezbollah, à quoi bon utiliser le français pour des tels panneaux? Veulent-ils recruter des libanais(es) francophones de la diaspora? Et est-ce que quelqu’un a vu un autre panneau comme ça?
