Lebanese mourners carry Hezbollah fighter’s coffin at funeral

Lebanese mourners carry the coffin of Hezbollah fighter Hassan Faisal Shuker, 18, who was killed in a battle against Syrian rebels in the Syrian town of Qusair, during his funeral procession in his hometown of Nabi Sheet in the eastern Bekaa valley, Lebanon, Monday May 20, 2013. Fierce street fighting in Qusair, Syria, near the Lebanese border has killed at least 28 elite members of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group, activists said Monday, as Syrian government forces pushed deeper into the strategic, opposition-held town. The barefaced Hezbollah involvement — several funerals for group members were held in Lebanon Monday — edges the war further into a regional sectarian conflict pitting the Middle East?s Iranian-backed Shiite axis against Sunnis. <AP Photo>
