The Lebanese Hezbollah group declared that the funeral for its veteran leader, Hassan Nasrallah, will occur on February 23. Nasrallah was assassinated in Israeli airstrikes on a southern Beirut suburb.

In a recorded address, Secretary-General Naim Kassem confirmed the arrangements just days following a US-brokered ceasefire that temporarily halted hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel until February 18.

Amid tensions, Israeli forces remain in parts of southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah, amid protests, begins its withdrawal north of the Litani River. Residents continue protests against Israel's presence.
