Avichay Adraee mocked after paying tribute to late Ziad Rahbani
Avichay Adraee posted a video on his official X account and praised Rahbani, the son of Lebanese great singer Fairouz, and said: "Ziad was not just a Lebanese artist, but he was the voice of a free conscience, the pulse of the street, and the mockery of an intellectual who was not afraid of the truth."
The military spokesperson wrote: "Lebanon bids farewell to the great artist Ziad Rahbani, a phenomenon with his free nature in a country that has long been a prisoner of words and truth. He has departed, speaking the truth when everyone else was silent, singing of love as well as of pain, writing music to reflect an entire people. As a profound admirer of Lebanese culture, I see in his passing the loss of an icon who resisted ugliness with sarcasm, fear with courage, and injustice with words."

However, as soon as he posted the clip, he landed in hot water and slipped into a wave of mockery as thousands of comments flooded his post, where people reminded him that Zaid Rahbani had always shown a firm stance against Israel and its actions against Palestinians.

Another said: "True, and you also forgot that the deceased Ziad was a resistance fighter and Israel was his first enemy."
