Hezbollah Holds Mass Burials in South Lebanon During 10-Day Ceasefire

The pause lets families reclaim remains for proper burials.

Overview

  • Hezbollah announced funerals for 44 fighters in south Lebanon after a pause in fighting with Israel.
  • The group said 29 fighters would be buried in Kfar Sir and 15 fighters and one civilian in Qlaileh.
  • Hezbollah cited a 10-day ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump as the window that enabled the returns.
  • Some bodies had been placed in temporary graves under Shia rites that allow short-term burials when conflict blocks access to home cemeteries.
  • Lebanese authorities report at least 2,387 people killed since March 2, while Israel says it has killed more than 1,700 Hezbollah fighters, a figure not independently verified.
