Hezbollah announced Sunday that a funeral for Hassan Nasrallah and his successor Hashem Safieddine, who were killed by Israel more than four months ago, will take place later this month.

Hezbollah announced the funeral of its longtime leader will take place on 23 February, five months after he was assassinated in a series of targetted Israeli airstrikes in a southern Beirut suburb.

Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem stated that Lebanon must address Israeli violations, which he described as acts of aggression rather than mere violations. In his speech, Qassem emphasized that "resistance is both a path and a choice" and that actions are taken based on careful assessment at the right time.
