Report: Lebanese-Palestinian Security Meeting in Sidon Following Recurrent Incidents
A security meeting took place between the Lebanese Army Forces Intelligence Chief in the south Brigadier General Khodr Hammoud, and a delegation from the Palestinian political leadership and the Palestinian Supreme Security Committee to address the situation in the southern Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh following the latest incidents, Al-Joumhouria daily reported on Saturday.
The meeting was held at Mohammed Zgheib Barracks in Sidon and came to assess the conditions following an army operation in al-Tawari neighborhood in the camp and to stem clashes that erupted in al-Fawqani street against the backdrop of a killing incident that left Palestinian Simon Taha dead early this week.
On Thursday, a Palestinian delegation led by Mohammed Yassine, the secretary of the Factions of the Palestinian Alliance in Lebanon, also held talks with General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim after gunbattles renewed between the Fatah Movement and members of the Islamist group led by Bilal Badr in the camp.
“Talks tackled the situations in the Palestinian camps, especially the security situations at Ain el-Hilweh in light of the incidents of the past two days,” NNA had said.
The fighting had first erupted on Wednesday in connection with the killing of taxi driver, Taha.
