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.
Its support for Hamas appears to be merely a political opportunity.
The Israeli military published for the first time a map of its new deployment line inside Lebanon on Sunday, bringing dozens of mostly abandoned Lebanese villages under its control, days after a ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect.
The ink on the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire had barely dried when Hezbollah's leader Sheikh Naim Kassem took to the airwaves, not to welcome peace, but to claim triumph.
A French soldier was killed and three others wounded while clearing a road in southern Lebanon in an attack that UNIFIL peacekeepers and French officials said on Saturday was likely carried out by Iran-backed Hezbollah.
