Hezbollah supporters mourn Nasrallah's bodyguard Abou Ali

Hezbollah members and supporters held a funeral Thursday in Beirut's southern suburbs for the former bodyguard and head of security of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the group's longtime leader.

Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike in south Beirut last year, while his former bodyguard Abou Ali Khalil was killed in Iran during last month's Israel-Iran war, along with his son Mahdi.

Abou Ali Khalil, better known as Abou Ali Jawad, was killed after he went to Iran from neighboring Iraq.

For many years, he was seen behind Nasrallah during most of his public appearances.

After Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstike in September, his bodyguard was put in charge of his tomb in Beirut.
