About this cemetery
Rawdat al-Shaheedein is a Shia Muslim cemetery in Ghobeiry, in the Baabda District of Mount Lebanon, in Beirut's southern suburbs. It is named for the brothers Mustafa and Mahdi Hashem, aged 14 and 16, killed at the start of the civil war and buried there in 1975 after Ghobeiry residents removed the gate of the pine grove. It is also described as a burial place for Hezbollah fighters, including some prominent figures.
