Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said from Beirut that Iran “will support any decision made unanimously by the Lebanese government and people and the Lebanese resistance (Hezbollah).”

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has told an Iranian delegation led by parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf that the security of Beirut’s airport and passengers is “the priority," following the latest controversy over the landing of Iranian planes.

President Joseph Aoun told a visiting Iranian delegation on Sunday that the war-scarred country was "tired" of external conflicts playing out on its territory.

The high-level delegation was in Beirut for the funeral of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the slain leader of Tehran-backed Hezbollah which fought a war with Israel last year that ended in a November truce.

Hundreds of thousands of people packed into a stadium in Beirut and nearby streets on Sunday for the funeral of Hezbollah's former leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Nasrallah died after Israel's air force dropped more than 80 bombs on the militant group's main operations room in a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, dealing a major blow to the Iran-backed group and political party that he had transformed into a potent force in the Middle East.

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said the group would keep following the path of slain chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday during a televised speech broadcast at his massive funeral on the outskirts of Beirut.

"We will uphold trust and walk on this path, we will uphold your will," Qassem said referring to Nasrallah, adding: "you are still with us: your... path and struggle live within us" and "I am loyal to the legacy Nasrallah".

Lebanese state media reported Sunday Israeli planes flying at a very low altitude over Beirut, with AFP journalists hearing the rumbling noise while tens of thousands attended Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's funeral near the capital.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed Sunday continued "resistance" against Israel, as the funeral of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli strike in September, was underway in Beirut.

Israel's army on Sunday said "the world is a better place" on the day of the funeral for Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli strike in September.

"Today is Hassan Nasrallah's funeral. Today the world is a better place," the army posted on X, as tens of thousands gathered in the outskirts of Lebanon's capital for the funeral.

Lebanese state media reported Israeli strikes Sunday about 10 kilometers from the southern border as mourners converged in Beirut for the massive funeral of the group's slain leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

"Hostile aircraft launched two raids targeting the area between Qleileh and Sammaaiyah in the Tyre district," the official National News Agency said.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Beirut early Sunday to attend the funeral of Hezbollah's former leader, nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital.

In the run-up to the funeral, giant portraits of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his slain successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine have been plastered on walls and bridges across south Beirut.
