Dozens of private television and radio stations on the West Bank and Gaza have begun broadcasting most of the programs aired on Hizballah's Al-Manar TV. The stations also air songs praising Nasrallah and calling on Arab and Muslim armies to destroy Israel. In some Palestinian communities, posters of Nasrallah and Hizballah's yellow flags outnumber those of Palestinian "martyrs." "Nasrallah has become an important symbol for the Palestinians," said a Bethlehem-based journalist. "Some people have even begun referring to him as one of the great Muslim warriors in modern history."

Many Israeli Arabs in northern Israel, fearing the onslaught of Hizballah rockets, are fleeing south to the Palestinian territories and cities like Bethlehem and Jericho. Local hotels, empty for years due to the lack of tourists, now say they are filling up with Arab "refugees."
