Hezbollah supporters gather in Beirut to honour slain leader

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters have arrived in Beirut for the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, the group’s longtime leader, who was assassinated last September in an Israeli attack on southern Beirut.

Nasrallah, a founding member of Hezbollah, led the movement for over three decades before being killed alongside other senior officials during Israel’s ongoing war against the group.

Mourners will gather on Sunday at Beirut’s main sports stadium for a funeral ceremony before his burial.
