staged mock funeral processions for the Palestinian leader and gathered at cafes, where they watched Arafat's funeral and struggled to hold back tears. \u003cbr/\u003eThousand of Palestinians and Lebanese took to the streets of Lebanon on Friday for a symbolic funeral commemorating Arafat's death. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Sidon, a provincial capital in southern Lebanon, some 2,000 mourners waving Palestinian flags staged a mock funeral. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We consider this day a sad one for the Palestinian people and the Arab ones, as well as for all people in the world who seek freedom, independence and justice,\" said one mourner. \u003cbr/\u003eAt the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp near Sidon, Palestinian gunmen kissed Arafat's picture in a show of respect and love for the former PLO leader. \u003cbr/\u003ePalestinians refugees hung black flags and posters of Arafat, and they paid tribute to the leader whom many refugees had hoped would lead them back to Jerusalem and a home in an independent state.\u003cbr/\u003eThey organised a symbolic funeral at the same time as Arafat's coffin was carried through the West Bank compound.  \u003cbr/\u003e\"All our people on this day say all over the world (there will be) no peace in this area and in all the world if the Palestinian people will not return back to their homeland,\" said one man. \u003cbr/\u003eThe 75-year-old Arafat, who led the Palestinians for four decades, died on Thursday at a hospital outside Paris from an undisclosed illness that had plunged him into a week-long coma. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the 1970s, amid the chaos of Lebanon's civil war, Arafat ran a state-within-a-state in Lebanon and armed and funded local militias before Israel's 1982 invasion forced him to leave, with his guerrillas, into another exile in Tunisia.\u003cbr/\u003eHe had spent his final three years confined to his Ramallah headquarters, never leaving for fear the Israelis wouldn't allow him back in.\u003cbr/\u003eHis funeral service took place in Cairo on Friday before his body was flown to the West Bank. \u003cbr/\u003eMuch like the ceremony held in Cairo, the Ein el-Hilweh service began with prayer and ended with an almost-triumphant procession, followed by a weeping crowd mourning their lost leader. \u003cbr/\u003eHezbollah's members staged their own parade in eastern Lebanon on Friday, followed by an address by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah. \u003cbr/\u003eThe rally was organised by Hezbollah to mark Al-Quds Day - Al-Quds, meaning \"the holy,\" is the Arabic name for Jerusalem.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring the rally, Hezbollah put on a show of its military force - guerrillas marched to the sound of a music band and commandos performed drills, climbing down on ropes from rooftops.\u003cbr/\u003eSheikh Nasrallah, addressing the crowd, called Yasser Arafat \"a historic chief, a big leader and a symbol who bore huge responsibilities for decades\".\u003cbr/\u003eElsewhere in the Middle East there were demonstrations and religious services to honour Arafat on Friday. \u003cbr/\u003eWorshippers gathered at Cairo's Al Azhar mosque for Friday prayers, with riot police patrolling outside, worried the mosque would be a potential flashpoint, but there were no reports of violence. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Baghdad, Palestinian refugees living in the Iraqi capital watched Arafat's funeral on television as they mourned.\u003cbr/\u003eOne family living in a Palestinian refugee camp in the Baladiyat neighbourhood of eastern Baghdad were emotional as they watched the funeral ceremony.\u003cbr/\u003eRasmiyah Mahmoud, a Palestinian refugee in Iraq, said the death of Arafat was a loss to the whole Arab world, not just the Palestinians.\u003cbr/\u003eAbout thirty-thousand Palestinians live in Iraq, and their sorrow and grief was felt throughout Baghdad and across the Middle East. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Iran, meanwhile, hundreds of thousands rallied in Tehran and across the country in support of the Palestinian cause and to protest Israel's control over Jerusalem - the city where Muslims believe Prophet Muhammad began his journey to heaven.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
