Lebanon's Hizbollah will bury its former leader Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
Nasrallah was killed on September 27 in an Israeli airstrike as he met commanders in a bunker in Beirut's southern suburbs.
The funeral in Beirut's southern suburbs will also honour Hashem Safieddine, who led Hizbollah for one week after Nasrallah's death before he was also killed by Israel. He will be buried in the south on Monday.
The ceremony will be held at Lebanon's biggest sports arena - Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium on the outskirts of the Hizbollah-controlled southern suburbs.
Nasrallah will then be buried at a dedicated site nearby.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will attend, an Iranian official said.
Iraqi Airways has added flights to Beirut to cope with extra demand from Iraqis who want to travel to Beirut for the funeral, a spokesperson for the Iraqi transportation ministry said.
