The southern suburbs of Beirut will witness an exceptional event in its modern history this Sunday, as preparations are underway for the funeral procession of the “Master of Martyrs of the Nation,” His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the martyr Al-Hashemi, Sayyed Hashim Safieddine.
This event, which carries significant national, religious, and popular importance, requires meticulous organization and intensive coordination to accommodate the massive crowds expected to accompany the two revered figures to their final resting place.
