Member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and member of the Central Committee of the Fatah Movement, Azzam Al-Ahmad, left Lebanon for Jordan, to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who is returning from New York after participating in the work of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, in order to put him urgently in the atmosphere of the meetings that took place. With Lebanese and Palestinian officials about the Ain al-Hilweh clashes.

“Nidaa Al Watan” learned that Al-Ahmad will return to Lebanon again within the next few days to follow up on the implementation of the agreement that took place between the “Palestinian Joint Action Authority” and with Lebanese political and security support, specifically the issue of handing over the suspects in the crime of assassinating Major General “Abu Ashraf” Al-Armushi to Lebanese justice. He repeated to those close to him that “this file must be brought to an end at the end of this month.”

During the work of the General Assembly, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati discussed with President Abbas bilateral Palestinian-Lebanese relations and developments in the situation in Ain al-Hilweh, where the latter affirmed his keenness to achieve calm in the camp, and for matters to be dealt with in accordance with Lebanese law, and in coordination with the Lebanese state.

Al-Ahmad, who held continuous Lebanese and Palestinian political and security meetings, announced two remarkable positions before leaving Lebanon. The first is “that the deadline for extraditing wanted persons in the camp is approaching its end, as it ends at the end of this month of September,” after it was previously confirmed that there are no time limits, and the second is “ There is an agreement between Fatah and the Lebanese state to extradite wanted persons in the camp.

Palestinian circles said, “Next week will be decisive in terms of determining the nature of the decision that will be taken regarding the course of matters in the camp, after implementing the first two items in the treatment process, establishing the ceasefire and strengthening the joint security force, which is now ready, awaiting the determination of the third item regarding its deployment or the evacuation of UNRWA schools.” “Or bringing wanted persons, according to the tasks assigned to it in the last meeting held at the Palestinian embassy (Tuesday, September 5) two days before the renewed clashes (Thursday, September 7).”

“Nidaa Al Watan” learned that the “Action Authority” in the Sidon region held a meeting (unannounced) with the Commander of the Security Force, Major General Mahmoud Al-Ajouri, where he detailed the preparations and logistical needs to begin its tasks, after all the factions agreed to supply them with elements and hand over the numbers and names participating in it.

While awaiting the decision, a fragile calm prevails in the camp, despite the full commitment to the ceasefire, while the wounded Abdul Karim Al-Sabaa, who was injured in the clashes and was receiving treatment in Al-Rai Hospital in Sidon, died, bringing the death toll to 28 dead and about 225 wounded since the outbreak of the clashes.

The exodus from the camp continued to worry UNRWA and the Palestinian forces, as people’s hearts were not yet reassured by a safe return due to the tension and dismemberment they were seeing on the ground, the continued military alert, and the establishment of raids, barricades, and guards, while the “Labor Authority” in Lebanon did not call on them to return. and practice their normal lives.

In preliminary statistics, UNRWA announced that “more than 4,000 people were forced to flee due to severe violence and massive destruction in the camp, and it is currently hosting 800 people in four of its shelters (Sidon and Siblin).

#decisive #week #Ain #alHilweh #camp. #clause #agreement #implemented

In his speech about the events of the Ain al-Hilweh camp yesterday, Army Commander Joseph Aoun was completely decisive when he said: “There is no intention or effort on the part of the army to enter the Ain al-Hilweh camp,” and he added: “We have taken all measures and deployed a military force around the camp to prevent the fighting from spreading to “Outside it.”

The messages that Aoun sent were clear, and whoever reads between their lines will find many security details. Aoun said that “the army will not enter the camp,” but he did not say that the latter “will not interfere” in any events that may occur later.. The difference between the two phrases is one letter and a severity, and the army will say its word “one letter and a severity” in the event of any new violation. Security affects Sidon and its environs, and this matter has become known to everyone assigned to the Ain al-Hilweh file. Also, Aoun did not explicitly declare the army’s inability to resolve matters. In the camp, quite simply, what the army commander mentioned was clear in terms of the military institution’s commitment to the content of the agreements that stipulate the army’s presence outside the camps, but that does not mean that it will not be involved in resolving any battle that erupts in Ain al-Hilweh, but from outside its walls.

What Aoun is relying on today is linked to what the Palestinians will do in terms of controlling the camp’s security. Inevitably, the state said its word to the various factions, including the following: “Manage your affairs and we will monitor you… Facilitate the solution and we will support it… otherwise we will have something else to say.” Quite simply, the first step in implementing what the Lebanese official authorities requested regarding controlling the events in Ain al-Hilweh was represented yesterday by the step of strengthening the joint Palestinian security force in Sidon, which now includes various factions, including the Hamas movement, which has distanced itself from that force for more than two years against the backdrop of North Burj camp events. Then, specifically in December 2021, an armed clash took place inside the camp, resulting in a number of deaths during the “funeral” of a Hamas member who died as a result of an explosion that occurred inside the camp. During that incident, Hamas accused the Fatah movement of being behind targeting the funeral and killing people affiliated with it, but the problem did not expand and develop as happened in the Ain al-Hilweh camp.

What will happen at the level of the joint force will not go unnoticed, as the army will keep pace with what that force will do on the field, and Palestinian sources tell “Lebanon 24” that the military institution will never allow any new transgressions, and it has placed every faction in the Ain al-Hilweh camp before its responsibilities, and says: “Every The pillars of the state are waiting for what this joint security force will produce on the ground.. Communications so far have been positive, to the point that the efforts of all Palestinian parties to bring those wanted in the crime of assassinating Fatah leader Major General Abu Ashraf Al-Armushi through the joint force has become clearly evident in the speeches.. But, is “Will this work? The answer is up to the application later.”

How will the army intervene in Ain al-Hilweh?
Militarily and directly, the army did not have any intervention in Ain al-Hilweh, but its deployment was clear and reinforced around the camp, to the point that military elements went up to buildings adjacent to the areas of conflict in the camp and surveyed the situation from there and followed it closely. However, in the midst of all this, the question arises: How will it intervene? The army is in any new expanded event inside the camp? what will he do?

Since the beginning of the battle in late July, the army has not stopped its intelligence work inside the camp, and “Lebanon 24” information says that the Intelligence Directorate accomplished the following: conducting a complete survey of all militant strongholds, assessing and determining their locations of deployment inside the camp, obtaining “data” and information about the types of weapons present. Closing the gaps through which one can exit beyond the camp’s borders, specifically at the outskirts. Exploring all the details related to the violations that led to the collapse of the ceasefire agreements many times during the recent rounds of fighting.

In the event of any battle, the army will have “adequate and updated data” about what is happening inside the camp on the ground.

According to the information, the latest data says that the army’s intervention in the camp will not take place as long as things outside it are under control. The sources say that the parties surrounding Ain al-Hilweh are much more important than those inside it, and they add: “In the camp, there are those who can decide the battle, whether the Fatah movement alone or by force.” Joint security… Also, the entrances are controlled and have also been closed with iron gates now. No matter what violent fighting takes place inside the camp, the army will not be drawn into intervention except in one case, which is the presence of a great danger represented by the movement of the extension that the militants enjoy on the outskirts of Ain al-Hilweh from In order to attack the army and shift the battle towards Sidon and the road to the south.”

According to the sources, Aoun’s talk about preventing “the spread of the fighting outside Ain al-Hilweh” may not mean the exit of armed men, but rather it is possible that there are parties seeking to move immediately if they find that the armed groups inside the camp are making a significant advance. Inevitably, this will give a “dose of hope” to the sleeper cells, but the constant restraining and “breaking” of the militants in the camp makes the deployed cells less enthusiastic about opening parallel fronts because they have no interest in doing so as long as the “key heads” suffer from violent fighting.

In light of all this, it can be said that the army is fully aware of the battle lines and how to draw them, while the risks associated with the camp have become many. The question here is: What is the expected scenario? Are the events of Ain al-Hilweh really considered a “rehearsal” for a larger fighting? The coming days will reveal that!

The rumors that spread throughout the day almost strained the fragile security situation in Ain al-Hilweh, after they talked about time limits, practical steps, and new military alerts, which prompted responsible sources in the Palestinian forces to confirm that they were not true, and to confirm that there were no time limits in implementing any of the terms of the agreements. Palestinian Joint Action Authority in Lebanon.

The same sources told “Nidaa Al Watan” that setting a time limit, that is, setting deadlines and arranging the steps in the process of dealing with the repercussions of the camp clashes, previously led to failure and setback with renewed clashes, which is what it is trying to avoid this time, on the basis of moving forward step by step, with Palestinian consensus and Lebanese support. Political and security, and with the follow-up of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.

Against the backdrop of this road map, efforts focused yesterday on the step to support the joint security force, provided that the next steps will later be agreed upon, including the evacuation of UNRWA schools and deployment therein, where its commander, Major General Mahmoud Al-Ajouri, chaired a meeting of its leadership and officers who represent the various Palestinian forces, and was handed over. The numbers and names of those who will be assigned to it to enhance its role and carry out the tasks assigned to it.

He explained to “Nidaa Al-Watan” that all the national and Islamic forces in the four frameworks of the factions of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Palestinian Forces Alliance, the Islamic forces and Ansar Allah, agreed to assign elements to the force to support them, and the meeting discussed one point, handing over the numbers and names that will participate, and the next step. It will be determined by the Palestinian Joint Action Authority regarding any subsequent force movement.”

According to the information, each of the three main frameworks (the organization, the coalition, and the Islamic forces) will select about 40 members with all their weapons and equipment, while the “Ansar Allah” organization will select 9 members, provided that they will be ready within 48 hours, awaiting the decision of the work committee in Determine the next step.

The information confirmed that the “Fatah” movement will sort the largest number within the framework of the organization, while “Hamas” will be the main pillar within the framework of the coalition, the Islamic “Ansar League” will be the main force in the Islamic forces, and the other forces will participate symbolically, or have communicated their approval but without the ability to sort. .

The official spokesman for the Islamic Ansar League, Sheikh Abu Sharif Akl, considered that “the balance of honesty in ensuring security in the camp is to stop statements and counter-statements, defamation and counter-defamation, provocation and counter-provocation.”

The “Palestinian Joint Action Committee” in Lebanon agreed during its meeting at the Palestinian Embassy in Beirut (Tuesday, September 5, 2023) to strengthen the security force itself and provide it with elements to carry out the tasks assigned to it, especially those related to the recent crimes in the camp, but clashes were renewed after only two days ( Thursday, September 7) This step was forcibly postponed.

While the head of the Hamas movement abroad, Dr. Musa Abu Marzouk, left Lebanon, the member of the Central Committee of the Fatah movement supervising the Lebanese arena, Azzam Al-Ahmad, continues his internal meetings with the leadership of the political, military and organizational movement and with the factions of the organization to place them in the context of his meetings with the Lebanese official, security and military officials. .

At the invitation of the imam and preacher of the Al-Ghufran Mosque in Sidon, Sheikh Hossam Al-Ailani, a Palestinian-Lebanese Islamic meeting was held in which representatives of the Lebanese forces and Palestinian factions participated, and it concluded with support for Berri’s initiative.
