A regional situation, demarcating the land borders!
Laying the groundwork in Ain al-Hilweh camp for battles and security operations
(Translated)

Majed Faraj, the head of the General Intelligence Service in the Palestinian Authority, arrived on 24/7/2023 and met with high-level security leadership in Lebanon. It was reported that he requested a meeting with Ziyad Nahaleh, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, who declined the meeting and settled for a phone conversation. Afterwards, Faraj left for Turkey on 25/7/2023, where he met with Mahmoud Abbas who, in turn, met with Ismail Haniyeh on the evening of 25/7/2023. Following this, Faraj flew to Egypt to participate in a meeting of the General Secretaries of Palestinian factions in Cairo on 30/7/2023.

So, what is this unusual and suspicious security movement?! Especially since this tour by the head of intelligence *barely concluded* before the situation erupted in Ain al-Hilweh camp on 29/7/2023 without prior warning! However, a component from the Fatah movement opened fire in an ambush under the pretext of revenge, killing a young man and injuring others, including two girls. This incident became the spark that ignited a security event in which the other party's involvement is not known! And within just a few hours, in a strange manner and in a well-executed ambush on 30/7/2023, the commander of the Palestinian National Security, Abu Ashraf al-Armoushi, along with four of his companions, were assassinated in their area of control!

What can be said now is as follows:

- There is an important development in Lebanon, namely the issue of demarcating the land borders, which is under American sponsorship, accepted by the Lebanese authorities, and agreed upon by Lebanese parties, especially the Iranian-backed party in Lebanon. Therefore, it is necessary for the situation on the ground to be regulated with American involvement.

- The decision was made to consolidate the scattered elements of Fatah movement within the camps and to restore control to the Dayton Authority, which holds the "sacred" security coordination, over the camps. This is being done with figures who pledge complete loyalty to this authority, which is clearly aligned with America.

- Initially, it appeared that the battle was one-sided, ignited by a single party. However, to find a pretext to achieve its political and security objectives, the so-called al-Shabab al-Muslim group were pushed into the conflict, even though they were not involved in the recent or preceding events.

- Other Palestinian factions have started to operate within regional agendas, either aligned with America, such as the Syrian regime, or within America's orbit, like Iran.

- The Lebanese security forces, known for their intervention to halt the clashes within hours, are seen allowing the situation to escalate to its fullest extent. This is accompanied by political attempts that fall short of addressing the gravity of the situation. This raises doubts about the nature of Majed Faraj's visit, his meetings, and what was discussed during them.

And here we issue a warning:

- The result of this wicked act—killing people, terrifying them, and destroying their properties—will be the control of American-affiliated factions over the camps, either directly through the Dayton Authority or indirectly through the Syrian regime and Iran.

- Proceeding with such destructive, bloody plans should prompt the Lebanese authorities to swiftly intervene and not delay under the pretext of external schemes. This is their duty for the welfare as a state and an authority.

- We offer our advice to the residents of the camp who are armed, urging them not to be drawn into this plot. It cannot be ruled out that there is support being secured for Fatah movement from certain parties and factions that see the expansion of Fatah's control over the camps as more realistic than the alleged assertion of control by the "extremists."

- And to the members of Fatah movement, we say: Who are you firing at? Especially since you're using heavy weaponry like mortars and others. Is this to kill individuals, or is it for the deliberate destruction and demolition of neighborhoods to advance the plan? Beware of those who are leading you against your own people, homes, and in the service of their scheme!
