#1 the Paleo infection spread to Lebanon

#2 Pals have been living in Leb since 1948, and have been exercising military power there since 1972.

What this sounds like is an attempt by the Leb Army to retake control of the Bekaa, which had previously been largely under Syria control. Apparently some Pal forces had stayed there under the Syrian shadow. Now mainstream Fatah in the territories has been following an Anti-syrian line the last few years, but it may be that this particular faction in Lebanon (like AAMB in the territories) is not under the control of Abbas-Dahlan, etc.
