The Lebanese Shiite organization „Hezbollah“ announced that the funeral of its leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut last fall, will be on February 23, Agence France-Presse reported, quoted by BTA.
In a televised address, Naim Qassem, the new leader of „Hezbollah“, promised a grand and crowded funeral, worthy of such a great personality as, in his words, Nasrallah was. He said the funeral had to be postponed for security reasons and because of the two months of war between Israeli forces and “Hezbollah“.
