The funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader who was assassinated last year, was staged as a show of political strength at a crucial time. Nasrallah was an almost mythical figure who ruled the group for 32 years before his death.

Hezbollah buried Hasan Nasrallah in an elaborate funeral in Beirut, nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

A funeral was held for former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last September. During the service, Israeli jets flew overhead as the IDF also conducted strikes in southern and eastern parts of the Lebanon.
