٠٠:٠٣:٣١A funeral ceremony was held for the late Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah at Sayyida Zaynab shrine near the Syrian capital Damascus on Sunday. Crowds of mourners flocked to the ceremony to express their condolences and listened to eulogies by the Sheiks.
Footage shows mourners shedding tears and beating their chests while sitting on the ground of the shrine’s courtyard. Photos of Nasrallah can be seen hanging on the walls of the shrine.
Mourners voiced their grief over Nasrallah’s death.
"His long journey of defending Lebanon and Arabism culminated in martyrdom. This is what he has been asking for during the hours of Jihad and defending Lebanon and its wealth, and he got it," said Mohammed Saleh, a displaced doctor from Lebanon.
"The martyrdom of Sayyed of the resistance is a tragic loss for the Muslim nation, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq," noted Mohammed Ahmed.
On Friday evening, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) announced that it had "carried out a precise strike on the central headquarters of Hezbollah”, before declaring on Saturday that the attack had resulted in the death of Hezbollah's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Southern Front Commander Ali Karki.
In a formal statement on Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed the death of the Secretary-General in the Beirut strike, along with other leaders that had yet to be named at the time of publication.
Bombardment of the southern suburbs of Beirut reportedly continued over the weekend, with strikes also reported in southern regions and the Bekaa Valley.
On September 23, the IDF announced the start of a campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah positions dubbed 'Operation Northern Arrows'. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that hundreds have died and thousands have been wounded in the attacks.
Tensions between the sides escalated in mid-September after a series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured. Hezbollah responded by launching hundreds of rockets into northern Israel.
Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with the Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
