An exhibition was held by the Hums Association for Palestinian Fine Artists in Syria, in cooperation with the Palestinian Cultural Forum to mark the 73rd anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, when thousands of Palestinians were forced out of their homes by Zionist gangs to make way for the creation of present-day Israel.
Palestinian artists Fares Samour, Fathi Saleh, Ziad AlShaer, and Majdi Zahrawi took part in the exhibition. Paintings by late Palestinian artist Mahmoud AlKousa were also put on display as part of the two-day event.
Every year on May 15 Palestinians commemorate the day in which tens of thousands of civilians were forced out of their homes during the war that led to the creation of the self-proclaimed State of Israel in 1948.
This year, the Nakba Day came amid deadly Israeli airstrikes, Jewish mob attacks and other forms of violent tactics imposed by the Zionist forces.
On May 15, 1948, some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled into refugee camps that still exist in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon following the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
Millions of Palestinians, including those displaced with the establishment of Israel, now found themselves having to live under military occupation, as well as further Israeli expansionism in their lands.
For many Palestinians, the Nakba is the first chapter in a process of land grab that began in 1948.
