The village of Moukhtara and the Joumblatt family commemorated the 47th anniversary of the assassination of Druze leader Kamal Joumblatt, founder of the Progressive Socialist Party (PSP), on Saturday. He was assassinated on March 16, 1977, near Baakline in the Chouf Mountains by the Syrian regime.
During this commemoration, Taymour Joumblatt, Kamal's grandson and head of the PSP, stated that "The anniversary of Kamal Joumblatt's martyrdom will remain a symbol of a renewed legacy of struggle, embodying national and Arab causes, notably the Palestinian cause."
The history of the Druze party is characterized by unnatural alliances, including with Syria, Israel, and Palestinian movements in Lebanon. Today, it is difficult to determine its true position.

The Israeli military has ordered the entire city of Tyre, along with surrounding Palestinian camps, villages and neighbourhoods, to evacuate immediately, publishing a detailed map alongside the order on Wednesday.
Israel said on Tuesday it had attacked Hamas’ new armed wing chief, who it said was appointed just days earlier after Israel killed his predecessor, as it steps up military pressure in Gaza and expands ground operations in Lebanon.
Israel's largest defence contractor is developing hardware to combat explosive Hezbollah drones that have killed Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, including through the potential use of laser-based defence systems, its CEO told Reuters on Tuesday.
