Jerusalem – PSA information [department] – The PSA in the Lebanese arena held an activity on the Lebanese-Palestinian (i.e., Israeli) border on Sunday, June 6, 2021, in coordination with the Lebanese Scouting Movement Office (i.e., apparently part of the Lebanese Scouting Federation), in order to emphasize the [Palestinian refugees’] right of return and to condemn the Israeli attack on our people in the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem, and the Interior (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel; refers to Israeli defensive measures in response to violent Arab riots and Hamas rocket barrages, see note below).
Scout groups and leaders from the districts of Tyre, Sidon, Beqaa, Beirut, and Tripoli – more than 232 people – came to the meeting point at the Al-Bas [refugee] camp in southern Lebanon, and there they were received by [Fatah] leader [in Lebanon] Akram Bakkar who praised the efforts of the scout leaders…
Afterwards they all set out while accompanied by the [Imam] Al-Mahdi Scouts Association (i.e., a Hezbollah affiliated scouts organization) to the Palestinian-Lebanese border in the Maroun Al-Ras area, and there they were received by a group from the Imam Al-Mahdi Scouts led by leader Haj Ismail Diab and [Imam Al-Mahdi Scouts Association] Commissioner of Public Relations leader Nidal Shuaib. The activity began with waving the Palestinian flag and the PSA flag and singing the Palestinian and Lebanese anthems, and afterwards the oath to Palestine was renewed.
PSA Executive Office member leader Khaled Awad gave a speech and thanked everyone for the efforts for the success of the activity. He emphasized holding onto the national rights and the right of return, and he conveyed to everyone the blessings of PSA Chairman Maj. Gen. Jibril Rajoub.”
