Syrian President Bashar al-Assad sent a telegram to Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, expressing his condolences after the death of Nasrallah's mother, reported the official National News Agency (NNA).
The Shiite party and al-Manar television channel first announced the death of Nahdiya Safieddine on Saturday evening.
A second statement, released later in the evening in the name of the "Hezbollah Command," clarified that she passed away "after a long battle with illness," honoring her memory as a "faithful mother who gave birth to a loyal and generous family."
The party extended its condolences to the Nasrallah family, especially to the deceased's husband, Abdelkarim Nasrallah.
The funeral took place on Sunday in Ghobeiry, a suburb in the southern part of Beirut.
Syria's Interior Ministry announced Saturday that its counter-terrorism directorate, in cooperation with the internal security command around Damascus, had thwarted a bomb plot targeting a religious figure near a Maronite church in the Bab Touma district of the capital, and has linked the cell to Hezbollah.
Ukraine and Syria pledged greater security cooperation in talks on Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said as Kyiv seeks to promote its military expertise across the region following the outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
The United Arab Emirates on Saturday condemned what it described as "riots, acts of vandalism, and assaults" outside its diplomatic mission and the residence of its head of mission in Damascus.
