The youths carried Paleostinian and black flags as they marched in the Ain al-Helweh and Mieh Mieh camps where a general strike was observed, with schools and businesses closed.

On May 15, festivities between protesters and Israeli soldiers left six dead on the Lebanese border and four more in the Golan.
