"The Hawk of Lebanon" (Arabic: هلا يا صقر لبنان) 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. Palestinian fever for the song brought together supporters of Hamas and Fatah who are usually divided in the Palestinian society. == See also == Yalla Ya Nasrallah, another song about Nasrallah, by an Israeli group. However, this song has an alternate view of Hassan Nasrallah, calling him an orangutan with lice in his beard. == References == == External links == The Hawk Of Lebanon only copy available on YouTube Police confiscates CDs with “inflammatory song” Archived 2011-07-26 at the Wayback Machine Freemuse article
