The long-delayed funeral for Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah is taking place Sunday, nearly five months after he was killed in a massive Israeli airstrike on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Tens of thousands flocked to mourn the group’s former leader, after it was severely weakened by more than a year of fighting with Israel.

Security was deployed on the streets of Beirut on Sunday (February 23) as tens of thousands of people gathered for the funeral of former Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine at Lebanon's biggest sports arena.
