(www.jewishpress.com)
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.

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.
Russian spy arrested in Paris after alleged plan to 'destabilize' Olympic Games (Le Monde, English)
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.

Two men were killed in revenge slaying, including a Fatah gunman thrown from a roof, in what Hamas described as a family grievance.
The funding of Hamas by Qatar was after their takeover of Gaza.
This part is unrelated to Israel.
The tensions begun the moment Hamas came into power.
When Hamas took over Gaza in 2007, they threw Fatah officials off buildings and shot into crowds of their supporters.

IDF draft laws only apply to Jews, and male Druze and Circassians.

Bedouins, etc. serve voluntarily.
And from the Wikipedia page, it seems like it's not all, but a majority that refer to themselves in that way.

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.
