Beirut - Saba:
Beirut International Airport witnessed a heavy movement of arrivals from various Arab countries who came to participate in the funeral of the late Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and Commander Hashim Safieddine, scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday.
Scenes from inside the airport campus today showed a large crowd as delegations from Algeria and Tunisia, in addition to other Arab countries, arrived to pay their respects and participate in this historic event.
Sheikh Ali Da'adoush, head of the Supreme Committee for funeral ceremonies said: "Lebanon will not be an "Israeli" or Zionist outpost, but will remain a homeland of coexistence, national unity, resistance and national dignity."
He added: "Tomorrow is the day of fulfillment, loyalty and pledge to the martyrs, and we will hear our voice. I am on the covenant, and we will continue this resistance."
He also called for "the widest participation" in the funeral ceremonies, emphasizing that the scene should be "exceptional and inclusive."
Video footage documented the convoys of citizens coming from the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon to Beirut under difficult weather conditions and snowfall to participate in the funeral on Sunday.
Hezbollah is preparing to hold the funeral of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday, almost five months after he was martyred in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
The body of his successor Hashim Safieddine, who was martyred on October 3, 2024, will also be laid to rest.
