Similarly, on Saturday, Al-Rahwi praised Hezbollah for its resilience against "Israel," stating that the Lebanese Resistance movement had “brought the Zionist enemy to its knees” and “rubbed its nose in the dirt.”

Al-Rahwi emphasized Hezbollah’s ability to grow stronger despite losing key leaders, asserting that the movement had evolved into a regional powerhouse that stands with oppressed nations, particularly the Palestinian people.  

“The martyrs of Islam, the Muslim world, and humanity—Nasrallah and Safieddine—are symbols of liberty, independence, defense of truth, and resistance against falsehood,” he stressed.  

Al-Rahwi also highlighted Sayyed Nasrallah’s unwavering support for Yemen, recalling that the Hezbollah leader was among the first to stand with the country during the Saudi-American aggression. He noted that Sayyed Nasrallah enjoys deep respect among Yemenis, as seen in weekly demonstrations across the nation.

Hezbollah is holsinf a massive funeral procession Sunday for its historic leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and its former Secretary General, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine. The ceremony has drawn a significant crowd, both from Lebanon and abroad, with high-level political and religious figures in attendance.

Since before the crack of dawn, the streets of the Lebanese capital have been flooded with mourners arriving from all regions. By 6:00 AM local time, Beirut’s Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium was already filled with participants, some of whom spent the night outdoors to secure a place at the ceremony.

Giant portraits of Sayyed Nasrallah and Sayyed Safieddine have been hung on the exterior walls of the stadium and along the roads leading to the funeral site. Thousands of additional seats have been arranged inside the venue to accommodate the massive turnout.

Processions, both on foot and in vehicles, have also emerged in Beirut’s Southern Suburb as Lebanon and the wider Arab and Islamic world bid farewell to two leaders who played a crucial role in the resistance movement, particularly in support of the Palestinian cause.
