None

Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group is holding a funeral for a senior commander who was killed in Syria.

 

Hassan Hussein al-Haj was killed last week in Syria where Hezbollah has sent thousands of fighters to back President Bashar Assad's forces.

 

Hundreds of people marched in the streets of the southern Lebanese village of Loueizeh as scouts in blue uniforms carried red religious flags and a poster of al-Haj.

 

Al-Haj's coffin, draped in a yellow Hezbollah flag, was carried on supporters' shoulders.
