The funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader who was assassinated last year, was staged as a show of political strength at a crucial time. Nasrallah was an almost mythical figure who ruled the group for 32 years before his death.

Tens of thousands of people gathered at a stadium in Lebanon's capital Beirut to mourn Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, in a public funeral nearly five months after he was killed by an Israeli air strike.

Longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was buried on Sunday after a massive funeral procession in Beirut, nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike during the latest Israel-Hezbollah war.
