Beirut gears up for masses at Nasrallah funeral, allows Tehran flight to land
|
[IsraelTimes] Beirut is gearing up for the funeral of Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...>
later today, with throngs expected to pack the city to send off the terror chief killed by an Israeli bomb in late September.
Since Saturday, roads into Beirut have been clogged with carloads of Hezbollah supporters travelling in from the movement’s strongholds in south Leb
 ...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...
and the Bekaa Valley.
The funeral for Nasrallah, and his successor Hashem Safieddine, killed by Israel in early October, is set to take place at Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium on the outskirts of the capital, where giant posters of the two have been hung.
The stadium has a capacity of around 50,000 but Hezbollah organizers have installed thousands of extra seats on the pitch and many more outside, where mourners will be able to follow the ceremony on a giant screen.
The funeral is due to start at 1:00 p.m. and will include a speech by current leader Naim Qassem
... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies...
.
Hezbollah’s al-Manar television says the group is deploying 25,000 stewards for crowd control and 4,000 more to supervise the event.
A security source says 4,000 troops and security personnel will also be deployed to the area.
Hezbollah, a terror group which is also a major player in Lebanese politics, has invited top Lebanese officials including President Joseph Aoun to attend.
Its longtime backer Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is to be represented by the speaker of parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iranian media reported.
Representatives of Iraq’s main pro-Iran factions are also expected to attend and additional flights have been scheduled between Baghdad and Beirut.
A single flight from Tehran was also given permission to land before dawn on Sunday, though service from Iran has been suspended over the threat of Israeli strikes on attempts to smuggle weapons or other goods to Hezbollah.
"It is only one flight, carrying official delegations from Tehran to participate in the funeral," airport chief Fadi al-Hassan tells AFP.
Civil aviation authorities say Beirut airport will close exceptionally from midday until 4:00 pm.
The US embassy has urged Americans to avoid the area.
