Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Weapons handed over from Ain al-Hilweh and al-Beddawi camps — Naharnet

2025-09-14

[NAHARNET] The Lebanese Army was on Saturday handed over five truckloads of weapons from the Ain al-Hilweh camp and another three from the al-Beddawi camp as part of an ongoing disarmament process.

So far only the Fatah Movement has handed over weapons from several camps in Beirut and its suburbs and the southern region of Tyre.

The Lebanese-Paleostinian Dialogue Committee announced said Friday that dialogue with Hamas

's Paleostinian camps would be handed over to the Lebanese authorities.

The implementation of the deal -- part of Lebanese authorities' decision to disarm all non-state groups -- began in August as Abbas' Fatah movement surrendered its weapons in south Beirut's Burj al-Barajneh camp.

By longstanding convention, the Lebanese Army stays out of the Paleostinian camps -- where Fatah, Hamas and other gangs are present -- and leaves the factions to handle security.

The move to collect the Paleostinian factions' weapons comes as the Lebanese government, under heavy U.S. pressure and amid fears of expanded Israeli military action, has tasked the army with drawing up a plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year.

During a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah thon the lamly ended with a November ceasefire, Paleostinian groups including Hamas claimed rocket fire towards Israel.
