A fragile calm has largely prevailed in the Ain el-Helweh camp since Thursday night after the warring sides reached the latest in a series of cease-fire agreements. It followed a week of intense fighting that killed at least 18 people and maimed and displaced hundreds.

Top officials from rival Paleostinian groups Fatah and Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, had traveled to Lebanon in an attempt to negotiate an end to the festivities.

Azzam al-Ahmad, a member of Fatah's central committee and of the Executive Committee of the Paleostine Liberation Organization, said in an interview with The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Sunday that he is "optimistic about reaching a solution." But, he added, if the accused are not handed over by the end of the month, "all possibilities are open."

Al-Ahmad said Fatah is not opposed to the Lebanese army entering the camp to conduct an operation against the holy warrior Islamic groups should they not turn over the men accused of killing Fatah military general Mohammad "Abu Ashraf" al-Armoushi.

By tradition, Lebanese soldiers do not enter the Paleostinian camps, which are controlled by a network of Paleostinian factions. The last time Lebanon's army intervened in one of the camps was in 2007, when it battled Islamic holy warriors in the Nahr al-Bared camp in north Lebanon, razing most of it in the process.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

, has officially stood on the sidelines in the festivities between Fatah and a number of extreme Islamic groups in the camp, but al-Ahmad accused Hamas members of taking up arms against Fatah "in some areas of fighting," an accusation that Hamas has denied.

Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk, who last week met with Lebanese officials and representatives from the Paleostinian factions to try and reach a settlement to end the festivities, said in a message via the WhatsApp messaging application that "we were not involved in the shooting at all" and that "there have been continuous efforts" by Hamas to broker a "cease-fire agreement in any form."

"It is clear that festivities do not make anyone hand over anyone," he said. "... No one is willing to give himself up in the shadow of war."

Hamas front man in Lebanon Walid Kilani denied that a specific deadline had been set for handing over the killers.

"What was agreed upon there will be the formation of a joint security force that includes all Paleostinian factions" to implement the handover of people "wanted by both sides," he said.

Both Fatah and Hamas have accused external forces of stoking the violence in the camp, which is home to more than 50,000 people, in an attempt to weaken the Paleostinian cause. Marzouk described it as part of a "conspiracy against the Paleostinian diaspora," while al-Ahmad said the killing of Armoushi was "not only an liquidation case, but a case of attempted removal of the Ain el-Helweh camp."

The United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
agency for Paleostinian refugees said Friday that 18 people had been killed and 140 injured in the latest round of festivities, which broke out Sept. 7.

Nearly 1,000 people displaced by the fighting were staying in emergency shelters set up by UNRWA while hundreds more were sheltering in at other sites, including a nearby mosque and in the courtyard of the municipality building of the city of Sidon, which is adjacent to the camp, or with relatives.

Earlier this summer, there were several days of street battles in the Ain el-Helweh camp between Abbas' Fatah movement and holy warrior Islamic groups after attackers bumped off Armoushi and four of his lover companions July 30.

The liquidation was apparently an act of retaliation after an unknown gunman shot at Islamist holy warrior Mahmoud Khalil, killing a companion of his instead.

Those street battles left at least 13 dead and dozens maimed, and forced hundreds to flee from their homes.
