Five months ago, former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut, but his funeral has only been held today. Tens of thousands of people have gathered at the capital’s main sports stadium, with several top Lebanese and Iranian officials expected to attend.
Nasrallah, a cofounder of Hezbollah, led the group for more than 30 years and enjoyed wide influence among Iran-backed groups in the region. He was widely respected within the Iran-led axis of resistance, which included Iraqi, Yemeni, and Palestinian factions. Rawad Taha reports.
