Tehran, IRNA - People in Tehran and other Iranian cities have rallied to honor Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and condemn an Israeli airstrike that led to his martyrdom in southern Beirut.

Protesters gathered in Tehran’s Palestine Square on Saturday to denounce the recent wave of Israeli atrocities in Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of Nasrallah.

Nasrallah, who led the Lebanese resistance movement for 32 years, was martyred in a massive Israeli airstrike on a series of residential buildings in Dahieh, a dense urban area south of Beirut, using dozens of 2,000-pound American bunker-buster bombs.

Despite the rainy weather in Tehran, the demonstrators in Palestine Square held images of the Hezbollah leader and chanted, “Revenge, revenge!”

In the holy city of Mashhad, a mourning flag was raised over the dome of Imam Reza's holy shrine after Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah's martyrdom in a statement.

People also gathered in the Imam Khomeini portico in the holy shrine to condemn the Israeli regime and its crimes.

Other cities, where anti-Israel rallies were held, included Khorramabad, Zanjan, Kerman, Bandar Abbas, Dezful, Sari, among others.
