The Fatah faction in Lebanon is scheduled to hold a military parade on Friday in the Ein Al-Hilwe section of Sidon, where it will unveil "the special units of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. The parade is in honor of Fatah's 64th birthday, which falls on Monday.

Commander Munir Al-Makdach says the parade is a message of support for Arab resistance to Israel and has no connection to Lebanon's domestic situation, although he said that if Israel attacked Lebanon, the group would join forces with the Lebanese army and not stand idly by.
