The phrase “God of Israel” is trending among the top ten topics on Nigeria’s X this morning following the confirmation of the death of Iran President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
The chopper the leader was travelling in went down on Sunday, May 19, 2024, in the northwestern part of the country.
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and seven others were killed with Raisi in the crash.
The helicopter crashed weeks after Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel in response to a deadly strike on its diplomatic compound in Damascus.
Israel has denied any involvement in the tragedy, even though the Times of Israel in an editorial after the tragic news broke called Raisi the ‘Butcher of Tehran’.
“It wasn’t us,” news agency Reuters quoted an Israeli official, who requested anonymity, as saying.
Analysts have also ruled out the possibility of MOSSAD being involved in the tragedy, considering their antecedent.
Israel has traditionally targeted military and nuclear installations and not high-profile political figures.
Targeting a sitting head of state or president would be a direct declaration of war.
However, while Israel may not have anything to do with the incident, some netizens think that the God of Israel had something to do with it.
They have been expressing their opinions on the subject matter for hours driving the phrase “God of Israel” to the top of the trending table.

@MalkahFleisher: “I don’t think people understand the magnitude of the miracle we just experienced.
“The Lord will fight for you, but you shall remain silent.”
May the God of Israel crush all forces who come against His people, and may He free Iran and all the world of tyranny and oppression.”
