Hundreds of Palestinian refugees and supporters of the Palestinian cause took to the streets in Lebanon Saturday to participate in protests marking Land Day and supporting the Great March of Return.

Palestinian factions and Lebanese national forces in Tyre and Sidon called for mass demonstrations in support of the Palestinian refugees’ right of return.

Other protests and sit-ins were organized in the refugee camps of Ain al-Hilweh, Miye ou Miye, Bourj el-Barajneh, Shatila, Nahr al-Bared and Beddawi where Palestinian flags were raised and slogans expressing support of the Palestinian cause were chanted.

The participants affirmed that the battle against the Israeli occupation will continue until the Palestinians are able to restore their lands and obtain their legitimate rights including their right of return.
