Grief and Triumph: Memorial Ceremony for Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut!

Five months after the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary General of the Hisbollah, the militant group in Lebanon organizes a commemoration. Nasrallah will be buried in a suburb of Beirut on Sunday, and tens of thousands of people are expected for the ceremony in the largest stadium in the country. The late Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine, who was killed after Nasrallah's death on October 3, is also honored. The celebration has been one of the first major public events since the ceasefire between Israel and the Hisbollah, which recently came into force, such as The press reported.

Nasrallah, who has been leading Hisbollah since 1992, was killed on September 27, 2024 during an Israeli air raid. He was reportedly killed in a bunker on Beirut, and his body remained proportionate. The Hisbollah initially hid his body due to the security situation to avoid a mass accumulation of supporters and possible Israeli attacks. With the ceasefire between the two parties, the Hisbollah hopes to mobilize its followers and make the commemoration a significant event, since many of their members have been sold out of their houses after fighting and are now returning, as from OE24 reported.
