Baisour commemorated its annual Martyrs' Day, which is celebrated on the twenty-fourth of August each year. It is an annual opportunity to remember the sacrifices of the town's martyrs who fell at various junctures to protect the land, the town, Lebanon, its Arab identity, and its unity. Thus, 'Baisour' became the 'Mother of Martyrs,' as the martyred leader Kamal Jumblatt called it. The town, which was 'at the forefront of Arab resistance and stood firm against the adventure of partition and isolation, and paved the way to Arabism and to Beirut, and later the path of resistance to the Iqlim, Sidon, and the South,' as President Walid Jumblatt reminded in a speech he gave there while sponsoring a reconciliation between its people last July.
The commemoration was attended by the town's Sheikhs, former Minister Ghazi Aridi, Mayor Nadim Malaeb and his deputy Riad Malaeb, as well as officials and political figures from the Progressive Socialist Party, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, and the Lebanese Democratic Party, in addition to municipal, cultural, development, and social figures.
On this occasion, there were two speeches by the Sheikh of the Malaeb family, Sheikh Abu Nabil Adib Malaeb, and member of the Druze Unitarian Community's Mazhabi Council, Sheikh Kamel Farhan Al-Aridi, in which they emphasized the unity of stance and sacrifices, as well as the symbolism and importance of the occasion, paying tribute to the martyrs and their sacrifices so that Baisour may remain in its pride and dignity.
From the 'Mother of Martyrs,' Baisour, greetings were sent to the mothers of martyrs in Gaza and to the Lebanese South.
Following this, Al-Fatiha was recited for the souls of the martyrs.
