Hezbollah’s decision to illuminate Beirut’s iconic Pigeons’ Rock (Rock of Raouche) with pictures of its slain leaders Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine to mark their first assassination anniversary has stirred controversy in the country.

A Hezbollah spokesman said the move would take place from 5pm to 7pm on September 25, accompanied by “sea activities.”
