On 9 and 10 May, several incidents occurred in Beirut in which French soldiers were attacked. One of the most serious of these clashes involved several members of a Palestinian contingent of the British army that was stationed south of Beirut. Joined by local anti-French protesters – supposedly 'Hitler's former clientele'– these soldiers had on 10 May escorted a march through downtown Beirut, tearing down French flags and attacking Lebanese policemen. Similar clashes had erupted a day earlier when Palestinian soldiers paraded under a portrait of Palestinian Mufti Amīn al-Husaynī and a flag bearing a swastika. According to reports of the French Sûreté Générale, proof was available that British elements and the Lebanese nationalist politician Riyād al-Sulh were involved in these incidents. While the Palestinian soldiers had reportedly been paid by British sources to provoke trouble, Sulh was suspected of having instructed and furnished them with the portrait of Husaynī.</blockquote>
