Tens of thousands mourn Hezbollah leaders at Beirut funeral

Tens of thousands attended the funeral of Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine in Beirut on February 23, 2025. The event took place at the Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium, causing significant traffic congestion in the area. Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on September 27, 2024, during a meeting with commanders. His death marked a significant setback for Hezbollah amid ongoing Israeli military actions. Safieddine briefly led Hezbollah after Nasrallah's death but was also killed by Israel. This highlights the extent of Israeli intelligence operations against the group.
