The long-awaited funeral for Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is finally taking place in Beirut, nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike. The event is seen as a display of strength for the militant and political group, which has been significantly weakened by Israeli attacks.
Tens of thousands of mourners have gathered at Beirut's largest stadium and surrounding streets to pay their respects. The ceremony will include a procession to transport Nasrallah's coffin to a shrine in southern Beirut, where he will be laid to rest.
