A solar well went into operation a few days ago in Dêrik in Northern and Eastern Syria. The well in the Şehid Xebat district is a central component of the district's water supply after the infrastructure in large parts of the region was destroyed by air strikes by the Turkish military. The project, funded by the Berlin State Office for Development Cooperation (LEZ), was implemented by the Berlin twin town partnership Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg – Dêrik together with the city administration in Dêrik and the "Make Rojava Green Again" initiative.

Moderate?
The guy who lead Hamas when they threw Fatah officials off buildings and shot into crowds of their supporters?
That under him Hamas charter included this very moderate part

“The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’”

He wasn't a moderate in any way, and it's bizarre to see people referring to him in this way.

Quoting from the linked article:

Since it's written right after the mention of their drug trade, I'm guessing it's about Hezbollah's drug trade with ISIS https://www.phc.edu/intelligencer/hezbollahs-drug-deal-with-isis

Maybe also related to the Assad regime's use of ISIS as a tool against the Druze.

It hit an area where people do not serve in the IDF.

This was generally true before the Syrian civil war. Things have changed since.
Haaretz article about it

Speaking with reporters at Majdal Shams, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1.

Hezbollah had earlier announced firing a Falaq-1 missile on Saturday, saying it had targeted an Israeli military headquarters.

Druze serve in the IDF.

Edit: Although it's true that Druze in the Golan are different than the rest of the Druze in Israel, in that some of them don't serve.

Either way: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/nine-people-killed-rocket-hits-football-pitch-israeli-occupied-golan-israel-2024-07-27/

Haven't seen any reports of violence.
The group behind it also hasn't released any negative statement about the march.

From what I've seen, French newspapers have only mentioned the Russian for now.

To weaken France's image, to sow chaos, to get security forces focused on other things while they try to get specific targets.

There have been reports about both Russia and Iran being potentially involved.
So far I've seen an article about a Russian getting arrested 2 days ago.

It's in the Wikipedia link.
But here you go: https://www.hrw.org/news/2007/06/12/gaza-armed-palestinian-groups-commit-grave-crimes

On Sunday, Hamas military forces captured 28-year-old Muhammad Swairki, a cook for President Mahmoud Abbas’s presidential guard, and executed him by throwing him to his death, with his hands and legs tied, from a 15-story apartment building in Gaza City.

Two men were killed in revenge slaying, including a Fatah gunman thrown from a roof, in what Hamas described as a family grievance.
