Hezbollah carried out a public funeral on Sunday for its slain leader, Hassan Nasrallah, attended by tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians, nearly five months after he was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike.

The choreographed ceremony, which they acknowledged was an attempt to demonstrate the group’s support in the country, took place in Beirut’s Camille Chamoun Sports City stadium, and supporters filled it and the surrounding streets.
