State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged on Friday 18 Palestinians, only one of them in custody, for planning terrorist activities, the state-run National News Agency reported.
NNA said that among those who received the charges were Wissam Ahmed Naim, who was recently arrested for forging identification documents for suspected terrorists, and Toufiq Tah from the Islamist al-Nusra Front.
The charges include the formation of an armed gang for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities.
If convicted, the suspects face the death penalty, said the agency.
The General Security Department announced on Monday that Naim was arrested for forging IDs, in addition to designing and manufacturing electronic devices used in bomb timers.
It accused him of firing rockets, taking part in activities that violate the state's internal and external security, and engaging in sectarian incitement.
Al-Akhbar newspaper was the first to report about his arrest last week.
It said Naim has close ties with Tah, who according to al-Akhbar is al-Qaida's number one man in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh.

Palestinians has more right to live in Lebanon than you! Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon was once one united country as bilad al sham. The question now is, why do palestinians have to live as refugees with absolutely no human rights what so ever in their extended country (I dont recognize artificial borders, drawn by drunk french and british occupiers). And now it seems the failed state of Lebanon want to use the poor deprived palestinians as scapegoats. As usual with my comments, I dont expect the censorship of Naharnet.com to post my comment, since it seems they are against free speech.
