Bidding farewell to Hashim Safieddine
People in Lebanon have held a massive funeral and burial ceremony for late Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hashem Saffieddine. The mourners gathered in the village of Deir Qanoun an-Naher in southern Lebanon to pay their respect to Saffieddine. They carried the coffin of the martyred Hezbollah leader to his final resting place. A representative from the leader of the Islamic Revolution also delivered a speech in the burial ceremony of Saffieddine, vowing that Iranians continue to stand by Lebanese people. Saffieddine was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in October, last year, just weeks after Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in a similar air raid in southern Beirut.
