Hassan Nasrallah, the veteran leader of the Hizballah Armed Group, will be buried on Sunday in Beirut, about five months after his death in an Israeli air strike, after a ceremony attended by tens of thousands of people.

Nasrallah’s photos and covered with the flags of Hezbollah, Yellow Hezbollah, and supporters from Lebanon and abroad, are filled with Camel Shamoun Sports Stadium of 55,000 seats, with crowds spilled abroad, for a deliberate funeral as an exhibition of force to the movement that was beaten. With its war with Israel.

Many cried in the crowd when Nasrallah’s coffins were shown and succeeded by Hashem Sanddin, who was sentenced to Hezbollah for only one week before his assassination by Israel, on the field.

Nasrallah, 64, was killed with other major figures in Hezbollah on September 27, when the Israeli Air Force shot down dozens of bombs in a group’s position in the densely populated suburb of Dahiya.

As the procession continued on Sunday afternoon, the formation of the trio of the Israeli F15 and F35 aircraft flew at low altitudes on the capital, causing panic and anger among the attendees.

One woman, her face was tear, grabbed her little son and looked at fear.

The stadium erupted in the challenges, declaring that the sound of the planes will not frighten them. He said, leading the crowd in chanting: “The roar of our calls is greater than all your voices.” He leads the crowd in a chant: “In your service, Nasrallah. Death to Israel.”

The killing of Nasrallah was marked by a stunning blow a few days after Israel escalated its campaign against the Iranian -backed armed group in a full war, which would destroy its supreme leadership and reduce the stored of its weapons.

The killing also highlighted the deepening of Israel intelligence networks deeply in a group that has always been praised by internal discipline.

The war arose when Hezbollah began shooting rockets towards Israel on October 8, 2023 “in solidarity” with Gaza, after Hamas’s killer attack on October 7.

At least 4000 people were killed in Lebanon – many of whom are supposed to be Hezbollah fighters – where Israeli missiles rained on the areas from which the group draws its support.

During the 32 -year -old, Nasrallah turned the Shiite armed group into the prominent force of Iran’s regional network, which was called the Axis of Resistance.

Until his death, he was revered, not only at home but all over the Arab world and Muslims, for his defense of the Palestinians and his challenge to Israel.

Many of his supporters were still struggling with his death.

Some of us who came here, came with some hope that we will find [Nasrallah] “One of the mourners who attended the ceremony will come out and put our minds. “But when the coffin passed by us, we realized that we lost all the sense of safety.”

Ali added: “We realized that this country, this region, was dependent on a specific person, and we lost it.” “There is nothing that can describe the feeling. It seems as if we lost our father. Everyone here lost their father.”

Hadi, an Iraqi writer, said that he flew from Baghdad with a delegation of seven for a funeral. “Nasrallah is not just the martyr of Lebanon, not only for Shiites, but for all Islam.”

The leader of the leaders and parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berry attended the ceremony, along with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi and Parliament Speaker Muhammad Baker Ghalib, in addition to religious and political leaders and militia from Iraq and Pakistan and Yiena.

The ceremony was aimed at displaying the permanent power of Hezbollah, after the bruises that took it at the hands of its arc enemy.

The Israeli forces are still in five positions at the hill summit in southern Lebanon, despite the ceasefire agreement by the two countries, which led to a complete withdrawal of the Israeli forces by mid -February. The Air Force also continued to carry out air strikes on what it says was Hezbollah’s positions, including hitting multiple targets on Sunday morning.

The armed group suffered another blow after its ally Bashar al -Assad was removed in Syria last December, which led to the cutting of a vital supply route.

The group’s contradictory stature is also reflected in Lebanon’s policy after the war. For the first time since the end of the 15 -year -old civil war in 1990, the Cabinet statement did not include a language that gives legitimacy to Hezbollah’s arsenal.

The President of Lebanon nor the Prime Minister did not attend on Sunday.

In an attempt to increase the morale, the title of broadcasting on the stadium screens witnessed from an unveiled site, the current Hezbollah leader, Nayem Qasim, reassures the crowds that the group remained “strong”.

Qasim said: “We will not offer or accept the continuation of killing and occupation while we are watching.”

The crowds began to come up with talking.
