Hezbollah's Chief Hassan Nasrallah is being given a final farewell at Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium in Beirut. Thousands of people are present. Israel reportedly killed Nasrallah in an airstrike on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, on September 27th. Nearly five months later, he is being reburied. Sheikh Naim Qassem, Hezbollah's Secretary-General present at the ceremony, vowed to continue Nasrallah's legacy.
Addressing the gathering, Sheikh Qassem declared, 'We will honor every pledge and continue on the path of the martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, even if it costs us our lives. We will not forget our people held captive by our enemies. We will exert every possible pressure to free them.' Nasrallah was revered as a historical, extraordinary Islamic leader and a symbol of freedom for the oppressed worldwide.
Meanwhile, Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz shared a post on X, stating that Israeli jets were continually flying over during Nasrallah's funeral. He emphasized, 'Israeli Air Force planes flying over Beirut during Hassan Nasrallah's funeral clearly send a message. Anyone who threatens to destroy Israel and attacks us will meet their end.'

Born in 1960 in a district of Beirut, Nasrallah was one of nine siblings. His father owned a vegetable shop. Nasrallah showed an interest in religious studies early on. At 16, he caught the attention of Abbas al-Musawi, who later became Hezbollah's leader. In 1992, after Israel assassinated Musawi, Nasrallah, at the age of 32, was handed the leadership of Hezbollah.
Quickly, Hassan Nasrallah transformed Hezbollah into a formidable organization. Under his leadership, Hezbollah became not just a military power, but also a significant political player in Lebanon. After the war with Israel in 2006, Nasrallah increasingly retreated from public life, delivering speeches only via large screens. His words significantly resonated with many.
