Thousands of Palestinians and members of Syria-based radical Palestinian groups have put on a display what they claim to be the world's largest Palestinian Authority flag.
Friday's event was held under the motto "a bigger flag for a dear country" on the outskirts of Damascus. Officials from radical Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, attended.
The 27,000-square meter nylon banner took two months to complete by dozens of volunteers. The flag is said to weigh seven metric tons and cost 1.5 million Syrian pounds, or about $33,000. The money was collected from donors.
The organizers said they have yet to contact the Guinness World Records for official confirmation it's the largest Palestinian Authority flag.
