Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said: "Israeli Air Force aircraft currently flying over Beirut, over the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, convey a clear message: Those who threaten to destroy Israel and attack Israel, it will be their end. You will specialize in funerals, and we will in victories."

Tens of thousands of mourners gathered in Beirut on Sunday for the funeral of former Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, as Israeli warplanes conducted low-altitude flights over the Lebanese capital.

Hezbollah supporters gathered to pay tribute to Hassan Nasrallah, the group’s former leader, and Hashem Safieddine, another top official, at a funeral service held months after both were killed by Israel.
