Nasrallah's burial pending favourable conditions, says Hezbollah

Hassan Nasrallah's body remains in Lebanon and will be buried in the southern suburbs of Beirut when circumstances permit, according to Mahmoud Qmati, a senior official with Hezbollah, in a statement to Reuters. 

Qmati noted that the group is currently being led collectively until a new leader can be appointed, a process that will take time. “What’s important is that [a] joint command is in place,” he explained.

“The method of choosing a replacement for the secretary-general takes time and requires appropriate circumstances, and for that reason, we suffice today with temporary joint command.”
