Thousands gathered in Beirut Sunday to mourn the death of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's longtime leader who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in September. Under a ceasefire agreement, Israel withdrew its troops from southern Lebanon last week, but it continues to illegally occupy five locations in the country. Correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous traveled to Lebanon last week to report from the ground in southern Lebanon and to cover Nasrallah's funeral, one of the biggest in the region in decades. The large turnout of thousands of Lebanese mourners was a show of presence and of support for Hezbollah, which suffered heavy losses in Israel's war on Lebanon," Abdel Kouddous says.
