The bombings were seen as part of the spillover of the Syrian Civil War, in which Hezbollah and Iran have supported the Syrian government, while the Abdullah Azzam Brigades have fought against the Syrian government.
Pengeboman tersebut dipandang sebagai bagian dari imbas Perang Saudara Suriah, di mana Hezbollah dan Iran mendukung pemerintah Suriah, sementara Brigade Abdullah Azzam bertarung melawan pemerintah Suriah.
