Fatah Continues Integration of Military Units in Ain el-Hilweh

The Palestinian National Security forces took on Monday control of a checkpoint in the refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh that was manned by a faction led by Munir Maqdah as part of a process of assuming all headquarters and checkpoints.

The Palestinian Armed Struggle headed by Mahmoud Issa, who goes by the nom de guerre of al-Lino, and Maqdah’s faction named the “headquarters” were integrated into the National Security forces at the order of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

The forces, led by Maj. Gen. Sobhi Abu Arab, assumed command of the checkpoint in the camp’s northwest a few days after taking control of the offices of the “headquarters.”

In the details of Monday’s event, the head of al-Aqsa battalion, Col. Ibrahim al-Maqdah, known as al-Taous, handed over the leadership of the checkpoint to Col. Mohammed al-Armoushi, who leads the Abu Hassan Salameh battalion.

Al-Lino had previously handed over the control of three checkpoints to contingents led by National Security forces.
