Relatives and officers attend funeral of Lebanese soldier killed in blast at Hezbollah site
Outside the military hospital in Beirut, relatives and army officers attended the funeral of Mohammed Ali Shuqair, one of six Lebanese soldiers killed on August 9, during a blast at a weapons depot near the Israeli border.
The Lebanese army said the blast occurred while the troops were removing munitions from a Hezbollah facility. The deaths come after the Lebanese government decided this week to disarm Hezbollah and tasked the army with drawing up a plan to complete the process by year end.
