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.
As Hezbollah's war with Israel escalates and Lebanon descends deeper into crisis, one regional actor has made its position unmistakably clear: Syria under Ahmed al-Sharaa is not Bashar al-Assad's Syria, and Hezbollah should not mistake the two.
Turkey’s intelligence agency asked its British counterpart MI6 last month to take a larger role in protecting Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa after recent assassination plots, according to five people familiar with the matter.
Syria has opened a newly reactivated air corridor from the northern city of Aleppo toward the Mediterranean Sea for use by foreign airlines as well as its national carrier, the head of the country’s Civil Aviation Authority told Reuters on Thursday, as air traffic gradually resumes through Aleppo International Airport.
