Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime Hezbollah leader, was temporarily buried due to ongoing hostilities following his death in an Israeli airstrike in September. His official funeral is set for February 23, as announced by Hezbollah. Naim Qassem, Nasrallah's successor, indicated that the group would hold a grand funeral for both Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, who was also killed in this escalation of violence. The conflict has led to significant changes within Hezbollah's leadership structure, with Qassem taking over during challenging circumstances.
Hassan Nasrallah's funeral is scheduled for February 23 after a temporary burial due to Israeli air attacks, marking a pivotal moment for Hezbollah.
The absence of a proper funeral for Nasrallah reflects the severe conditions during the ongoing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel that have altered customary practices.
Hezbollah's deputy leader Naim Qassem confirmed that both Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, another senior official, will be buried in separate, significant ceremonies.
The conflict saw the deaths of key Hezbollah figures, leading to Qassem's election as the new leader in a time of turmoil for the group.
