Hezbollah on Wednesday held a funeral in southern Lebanon for two of its fighters and a woman, all members of the same family, who were killed in an Israeli strike the day before.

An AFP photographer saw hundreds of people turning up for the funeral in Hula, near the border with Israel that has seen deadly exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces since the start of the Gaza war.

Tuesday’s strike on Hula killed a man and his son who were initially identified as civilian victims but later claimed by Hezbollah as fighters “martyred in battle”.
