Tel Aviv [Israel], February 23 (ANI/TPS): Israeli aircraft are circling the skies of Beirut during the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah to send a message, Defense Minister Israel Katz said.
"The Israeli Air Force planes currently circling in the skies of Beirut over Hassan Nasrallah's funeral are sending a clear message: Whoever threatens to destroy Israel and attacks Israel - that will be his end," Katz said in a statement.
"You will specialize in funerals - and we in victories," Katz added.
Tens of thousands of Lebanese have thronged to Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium and surrounding streets.
