A Hezbollah commander, who had been missing for months in Syria, was buried in Lebanon on Wednesday after his body was repatriated following his torture and killing by rebels, relatives told AFP.
Hussein Salah Habib, 30, was captured by opposition fighters during the fight for Qusayr, a strategic town near the Lebanese border that was recaptured by the government on June 5.
He was buried in Baalbek, in the Bekaa valley, a region of eastern Lebanon where Hezbollah maintains strong support.
The group is allied with the Syrian government and has sent fighters to battle rebels.
