Hezbollah is planning a show of strength at the funeral of its assassinated leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in an effort to revive its image in Lebanon. Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the ceremony, which will be held at Lebanon's largest sports stadium in Beirut. After the stadium service, Nasrallah will be buried at a dedicated site nearby. The funeral comes five months after Israel killed Nasrallah, significantly weakening Hezbollah. The group is facing a power struggle in Lebanon, with opponents seeking to seize power back from the group.
