The funeral procession for former Hezbollah leaders, Hassan Nasrallah, front, and Hashem Safieddine, circles around the track at the Sports City Stadium on February 23, 2025 in Beirut, Lebanon. Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Beirut to attend the funeral of Hezbollah’s former leader, Hassan Nasrallah, nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital. Nasrallah founded and led the Shi’ite Muslim group for 30 years, through decades of conflict with Israel and became one of the most prominent Arab figures in generations.
