Thousands gather in Beirut to mourn Hassan Nasrallah at memorial site

Thousands of supporters gathered at the site of Hassan Nasrallah's assassination in Beirut, marking the first public memorial since the Israeli air strike that killed him on September 27. The area, previously closed off, was opened after a ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel. The memorial featured a large crater illuminated with red lights and surrounded by Hezbollah flags. Attendees held candles and photos of Nasrallah, expressing grief and solidarity with the former leader, who had led Hezbollah for over 30 years. The event followed a series of Israeli air strikes that targeted senior Hezbollah figures, significantly impacting the group. Despite the loss, many supporters expressed determination to continue Nasrallah's legacy.
