The head of Lebanon's armed group Hezbollah said on Sunday that his predecessor, Hassan Nasrallah, would be laid to rest on Feb. 23, nearly five months after he was killed in an Israeli air attack on Beirut's southern suburbs.

The Lebanese Hezbollah group has announced that the funeral of its longtime leader will take place on Feb. 23.

Hassan Nasrallah received a temporary burial as hostilities with Israel did not allow for a funeral to take place.
