funeral ceremony

The attack took place at roughly 5 p.m. local time, while Hezbollah officials were taking part in a large funeral ceremony for four victims of Tuesday’s pager explosions, including the son of a prominent Hezbollah lawmaker and a young boy.

Video from a funeral ceremony in the country’s south depicted an explosion inside an ambulance, leading bystanders to run away in panic.

A guard of honour carried Eygi’s coffin during the funeral ceremony, which took place in her home district of Didim, in western Turkey.

At a separate funeral ceremony for Haniyeh which took place in Tehran on Thursday, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed that Israel would suffer a “harsh punishment” for the killing.

State TV said a funeral ceremony will be held in the northern city of Babolsar on Sunday.
