Yes it always had English printed on it.
Falaq-1 Wikipedia page
It hit an area where people do not serve in the IDF.
This was generally true before the Syrian civil war. Things have changed since.
Haaretz article about it
Speaking with reporters at Majdal Shams, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1.
Hezbollah had earlier announced firing a Falaq-1 missile on Saturday, saying it had targeted an Israeli military headquarters.
Druze serve in the IDF.
Edit: Although it’s true that Druze in the Golan are different than the rest of the Druze in Israel, in that some of them don’t serve.

IDF draft laws only apply to Jews, and male Druze and Circassians.

Bedouins, etc. serve voluntarily.
And from the Wikipedia page, it seems like it’s not all, but a majority that refer to themselves in that way.
Lying about what?
The subject of this thread is about a strike on an army compound. That’s not a war crime.
About Rafa?
Sure: Yahoo, Reuters, Asharq Al-Awsat
Quote from Reuters:
The Israeli military said the strike against Deif also targeted Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade, describing them as two of the masterminds of the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the nine-month war in Gaza
About the pictures, this article shows them.
Reuters also mentioned them, but it’s written they haven’t verified them yet.
I should’ve clarified. They aren’t currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.
And that isn’t the IDF, it’s the Israeli police’s counter-terrorism unit.
Deif is right after Sinwar in the chain of command in Gaza.
Rafa Salama, the commander of the Khan Younis Brigade, was also targeted in that strike.
The attack was on a fenced Hamas compound. I’ve seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike.
And so far I haven’t seen reports that distinguish between combatants and civilians. Either way Hamas combatants usually don’t wear uniforms. You can see it in the videos they publish.
Two Israeli officials said that the military had targeted Mr. Deif while he was inside a fenced Hamas-run compound that was not used as a camp for displaced people.
So all the ones killed are Hamas combatants.
Yes, I replied to someone who implied that the USA has been giving Israel military aid since 1944.
I don’t understand what are you trying to say with the rest of your reply.
I already wrote that Israel bought it from the USA.
USA only started selling weapons to Israel in the 1960’s, and initially only defensive weapons.
Before that, the USA had an arms embargo on Israel. Israel got its weapons from Czechoslovakia (under Soviet rule) and later, France.
These systems were bought years before the US military grants were started for Israel.
I highly doubt it. But one can hope.
Systems Israel bought and later also upgraded to GEM+.
How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.
A state that is currently glorifying Nazi collaborators will automatically be dismissed as hostile to Jews and to Israel. Any action of theirs in related matters is therefore irrelevant.
Unless they have a different goal. Like getting closer to states like Iran.
And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I’ll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.
How is that relevant to news sources?
I was pointing out that Armenia is currently glorifying a Nazi collaborator, building statues of him and calling him a hero. Not in the past.
They also know what collaborating with the Nazis is like.
Nazi collaborator monuments in Armenia
How Armenia’s glorification of a Nazi collaborator has gone unnoticed
So I don’t think Armenia’s decision will have much of an effect. Maybe other countries.
I mean… It’s even in the name there. RAF is Royal Air Force.
The sovereign base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is a British Overseas Territory. Cyprus has no sovereignty over that area.
If that’s Hezbollah’s issue, they should’ve threatened the UK.
Adding to the other comment, Cyprus has also welcomed tens of thousands of Lebanese refugees over the years since the 80s, and lobbied the EU to financially assist Lebanon.
Since it’s written right after the mention of their drug trade, I’m guessing it’s about Hezbollah’s drug trade with ISIS https://www.phc.edu/intelligencer/hezbollahs-drug-deal-with-isis
Maybe also related to the Assad regime’s use of ISIS as a tool against the Druze.
