Hezbollah to prepare public funeral for Nasrallah

The deputy leader of Hezbollah’s political council Mahmud Qomati said Wednesday the group was preparing an official public funeral for former chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, killed two months ago in an Israeli strike.

Hezbollah postponed the service "in order to organize a funeral. We are preparing for this funeral worthy" of Nasrallah, Qomati told a press conference in Beirut’s southern suburbs, adding that the service would be "public and official".
