Mourners in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley walk on foot through the biting cold, heading over the Jebel Libnan to Beirut to participate in the funeral ceremony of martyred Hezbollah leaders Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine.
» There is no legal and legitimate state called Israel.
As long as there is imperialism, lasting peace is impossible. «
Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah
Mourners in Beirut gather for the funeral.
Beirut, at the stadium, right before the funeral ceremony: 100,000 people inside, at least 300,000 outside. Despite obstacles preventing hundreds of thousands from coming from Iran, there were still significant numbers of participants from various countries, including 140,000 from Iraq, 106,000 from Iran, 18,000 from Kuwait, 9,000 from Bahrain, 9,000 from Oman, 27,000 from Yemen, and 80,000 from various other locations.
A Lebanese military source told AFP that over one million people attended the funeral of Hezbollah’s former Secretary-General, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah sources estimated the crowd at around 800,000, while organizers, through Lebanon’s National News Agency, put the number at 1.4 million.
The moment Israeli jets flew low over the venue of the ceremony,
the whole stadium instantly mocked them: "Death to Israel!"
Beirut's Sports City and surrounding roads filled with mourners.
