Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Lebanon's capital Beirut for the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah.
The former Hezbollah leader was killed nearly five months ago in a massive Israeli airstrike on a suburb south of Beirut.
His death was seen as a major blow for the Iran-backed movement, which comprises a political party and an armed wing. Nasrallah led the group for more than 30 years and was one of its founders. Under his direction, the organization developed into a major political and military power in Lebanon, as well as an influential force in the Middle East.
Hezbollah is classified as a terrorist organization by the US, Germany and several Sunni Arab countries, while the EU lists its armed wing as a terrorist group.
Sunday's funeral is to be held in Beirut's main sports stadium, which has a capacity of 50,000. Giant screens were also set up outside the venue.
Officials from around the region were expected to attend, including Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, as well as representatives of Lebanon's president and prime minister.
Hezbollah has called on its supporters to turn out in large numbers for the funeral, expected to be Lebanon's largest such ceremony in two decades.
Nasrallah's killing came after clashes between Israel and Hezbollah escalated into a full-scale war in September last year. A US-brokered ceasefire ended the conflict on November 27.
Hezbollah's Nasrallah buried in Beirut after stadium ceremony
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli strike in September, has been buried in a suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut, the Iran-backed militant group confirmed to Germany's DPA news agency.
After a long-delayed funeral ceremony in Lebanon's largest stadium in front of tens of thousands of Hezbollah supporters, the coffin was brought to its burial site near the airport in a procession.
Live footage from Hezbollah TV station Al-Manar showed the coffin, draped in the militant group's flag, being carried through a crowd, with many trying to touch it.
Lebanese security sources reported that more than 400,000 visitors attended the funeral ceremony.
The final stage of the funeral was ultimately held in private, local media reported.
Israel, meanwhile, released a video Sunday of Nasrallah's killing, during a bombing raid in a Beirut suburb on September 27.
After his death, Nasrallah was temporarily buried at a different location.
