BEIRUT: A Lebanese employee was fired from her job with immediate effect after her reply to a post by the Israeli military’s spokesman on X triggered a social media uproar.
Shortly after the Israel Defense Forces’ Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X evacuation orders for residents of southern villages on Thursday, Lebanese citizen Sarah Shayah replied, saying: “Baalbek when?”
Without any clear indication as to what she meant by her reply, many social media users lashed out at Shayah, accusing her of communicating with Israelis and calling for her prosecution.
Others saw her reply as a joke or a simple error that should not have been taken so seriously.
