“Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli strike on September 27, has been temporarily buried at a secret location, news agency AFP quoted a source close to the Lebanese terrorist group on Friday as saying. Nasrallah would remain buried at a secret location, ‘until the circumstances allow for a public funeral,’ the source further said. … The report said the choice of a secret location with low attendance was taken by the Iran-backed group as it feared that a large gathering might attract a fresh attack by Israel, which has been pounding various regions of Lebanon including central Beirut, which came under attack for the first time since 2006, and the country’s border with Syria, cutting off its road connectivity to the rest of the world. Shiite Muslim rites provide for such a temporary burial when circumstances prevent a proper funeral or the deceased cannot be buried where they wished.” (10/04/24)
