Israel's recent assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has sent shockwaves through the Iran-backed group, pushing them further into secrecy and mourning. The absence of a named successor and the delay in holding a public funeral have raised questions and speculation.
Islamic norms dictate that the deceased should be buried promptly, typically within 24 hours, especially if they were killed by an enemy state. However, conflicting reports have emerged regarding Nasrallah's burial, with a source close to Hezbollah denying any decision on the time and place.
