Confusion broke out online last night as Russian social media personality Hasbulla was blamed for a series of guided missile strikes on Israel’s northern border, resulting in the 3ft4 UFC signee receiving death threats from pro-Israeli activists.

The initial confusion arose after Indian journalist Ramesh Singh published an article in The Times of India stating that Hasbulla had claimed responsibility for ten missile and mortar attacks on northern Israel, leaving four Israelis wounded in the process.

Realising their mistake, The Times of India quickly published a correction, attributing the attack to its actual culprit, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

However, the correction arrived a little too late for Hasbulla – social media was already awash with anti-Hasbulla rhetoric as support flooded in from pro-Palestinian voices that proceeded to target Hasbulla’s arch-nemesis, Abdu Rozik, calling the Tajikistani influencer, ‘Abjew’ while one commentator directed at tweet at Rozik, saying: ‘Hasbulla will strike you next!’

While it’s easy to pass this off as an unfortunate misunderstanding, one geopolitical commentator, Garth Witherspoon, outlined the potential dangers of Hasbulla being dragged into the conflict, saying that his involvement ‘could prove costly for Israel’ and, backed by his vast Crypto wealth and links to Dagestani fighters, has ‘the potential to prolong the war for months, possibly even years,’ before adding, ‘for once, it may not be Hasbulla that comes up short.’

Ramesh Singh and his editor, Aarush Gupta, have since been suspended by The Times of India, with the latter issuing a public apology to Hasbulla.
