Hezbollah supporters have headed towards the Lebanese capital for a massive "victory" rally after the devastating war with Israel amid suspense over whether the group's chief Hassan Nasrallah will emerge from hiding.

AFP correspondents in southern Lebanon said Thursday that Hezbollah's hardcore supporters were taking the road to Beirut, on foot as well as by car, for Friday's show of strength, while the government complained of renewed Israeli violations of its airspace.

Villagers gathered in the southern port town of Tyre for a 80-kilometre (50-mile) march to Beirut donned the yellow T-shirts of Hezbollah and caps marked "Nasrallah, we respond to your call", even as Israeli aircraft made a low-altitude pass.

Hezbollah officials said thousands were to take part in the march.
