Hezbollah Bids Farewell to Hassan Nasrallah in Massive Funeral
The funeral, delayed for security reasons, showcased the Iran-backed group’s defiance despite heavy losses in its conflict with Israel.
- Hundreds of thousands gathered in Beirut for the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli airstrike last September.
- The ceremony also honored Nasrallah's deputy, Hashem Safieddine, who was killed in a separate Israeli strike in October 2024.
- Despite significant losses in leadership, fighters, and resources during the recent war with Israel, Hezbollah leaders emphasized their resilience and continued strength.
- Israeli airstrikes targeted southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley during the funeral, with Israeli officials reiterating their stance against Hezbollah.
- The war, which began in October 2023, has left Lebanon grappling with reconstruction and a weakened Hezbollah, while the Lebanese government pushes for diplomacy to secure full Israeli withdrawal.
