The song was already released in November 2023, but it has taken time before it was noticed in the international media. The Israeli rap duo Ness & Stilla released during the winter a drill song supporting Israel’s military (IDF) and criticizing anyone who opposed the attacks on Palestine.
The song has attracted attention for its last verse, where the three American media personalities are hung out by name. The model Bella Hadidthe artist Dua Lipa and the influencer Mia Khalifa are all listed in a repeating chorus.
”Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Mia Khalifa
Every dog gets what it deserves in the end
All IDF units will do Harbu Darbu with their heads”
So say the rappers towards the end of the song, of which “Harbu Darbu”, which is also the title, can be translated to make it to “a hell for his opponents”. Hadid, Lipa & Khalifa have all been public with their support for Palestine and in the song the rappers call for the trio to be attacked by the IDF.
Y’all that song calling for the IDF to kill me, Bella, and Dua is over a DRILL beat, they can’t even call for genocide in their own culture, they had to colonize something to get it to #1

Mia Khalifa is the only one of the three to respond to the threat, which she did via her X account where she criticized the rap duo for using an American drill beat. The duo responded to this in another statement Ynet.
“We are excited about the conversation that the song is starting around the world. We want everyone to know and remember that we are a strong nation, a strong army and most importantly, that everyone gets what they deserve”say Ness & Stilla.
