People gathered on the streets of Beirut on Sunday ahead of a public funeral that will be held for former Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine.
The funeral will take place nearly five months after Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
Nasrallah was killed on September 27 in an airstrike as he met commanders in a bunker in Beirut's southern suburbs.
The funeral in Beirut's southern suburbs will also honor Hashem Safieddine, who led Hezbollah for one week after Nasrallah's death before he was also killed. He will be buried in the south on Monday (February 24).
The ceremony will be held at Lebanon's biggest sports arena - Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium.
Nasrallah will then be buried at a dedicated site nearby.
