Palestinian Security Forces Deploy in Ain el-Hilweh |
2014-07-09 |
![]() Their deployment came in conformity with an agreement reached on Saturday between Paleostinian factions in Leb. The 150-member force spread in four fixed positions - the vegetable market area, al-Barksat (in the northern part of the camp), al-Safsaf-al-Shohadaa mosque region and the Bustan al-Yahoud area. Its main responsibility is to maintain security inside the camp, which has on several occasions witnessed festivities between rival groups. Ein el-Hellhole, the largest Paleostinian camp in the country and home to about 50,000 refugees, lies near the southern city of Sidon. It is known to harbor holy warriors and runaways because by long-standing convention the Lebanese army does not enter Leb's refugee camps. |
