[AnNahar] Some promising developments have emerged lately in the Paleostinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hellhole after several runaways, who sought refuge in the camp, turned themselves in to the army intelligence the recent was Mohammed Taha, son of Tawfiq Taha the commander of Abdullah Azzam Brigades... Leb's current al-Qaeda affiliate, named after a guy whose car the current head of al-Qaeda had boomed...
and another runaway of the Darwish family, al-Mustaqbal
... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri...
daily reported on Tuesday.
Paleostinian sources following up closely on the issue, assured that more runaways will turn themselves in and that the army checkpoints that were erected at the entrances to the camp saw nine runaways surrender in less than two weeks.
| There are around 600 people of different nationalities inside the camp classified as wanted by the Lebanese authorities. |
The daily said it obtained information that "some of these runaways have opened channels with Paleostinian and Lebanese parties in order to test the waters."
A senior Paleostinian official pointed out that the wave of surrenders can only be seen as positive since it vents the security pressure that has been burdening the camp and its residents. It heralds for a new and advanced stage of Lebanese-Paleostinian cooperation in countering any attempts that aim to shake the security situation in the camp, or use it as a conduit to harm Leb's stability and safety.
The official added that what is happening in Ein el-Hellhole delivers a two-target message: towards Leb's neighboring countries that the camp has been sprung of guilt of being a harbor for runaways, and a reassurance message to runaways, who wish to surrender, that the opportunity became available to them today more than ever.
However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
some factors have contributed in encouraging the runaways to surrender, most notably the good treatment given by the army to the detained in addition to the psychological and social pressures and the dire living conditions they experience in the camp.
