Army Arrests IS Fugitive after Luring Him to Leave Ain el-Hilweh
The army on Friday announced the arrest of an Islamic State group fugitive who was hiding in the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp.
“After luring him from the Ain el-Hilweh camp in a security operation, the Intelligence Directorate arrested Omar Ahmed al-Bustani, a member of the IS terrorist cell that was led by detained terrorist Jamal Fatima,” the army said in a statement.
It noted that several members of the cell had sought refuge in the camp.
By long-standing convention, the Lebanese Army does not enter Palestinian refugee camps, where security is managed by joint committees of Palestinian factions.
Ain el-Hilweh is an impoverished, overcrowded camp near the coastal city of Sidon, and is home to some 61,000 Palestinians, including 6,000 who have fled the war in Syria.

So what you are saying is that the Lebanese Government and Army has no rule whatsover in this "refugee" camp. They have made Ain el-Hilweh into a state within the state.
