Ain el-Hilweh to Witness Implementation of New Security Plan
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A new security plan will be implemented in the southern refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh as further reinforcements will deploy in the area to preserve security, media reports said on Saturday.
According to Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5), the plan will include new neighborhoods in the camp and the 150-member force, which deployed in Ain el-Hilweh last year, will reach 350.
The camp will also witness the erection of new checkpoints in areas that weren't included in the previous plan.
The radio station said that the plan was set in coordination with the Lebanese military and security forces.
In March, a 50-member Palestinian joint security force deployed at the camp of Miyeh Miyeh in the southern city of Sidon.
By long-standing convention the Lebanese army does not enter the camps, leaving security inside to the Palestinians themselves.
There have been several reports that the camps have become a safe haven for extremists.
Several wanted terrorists, including Shadi al-Mawlawi, are allegedly hiding in Ain el-Hilweh.

It is not enough this new security plan. First, the army and all the LAF should discard this old plan and allow our security forces to enter and deploy INSIDE the camps as well as outside, all of them camps. Then within a period of 5 years, all camps in Lebanon should be dismantled and the land vacated be used to build new housing estates for our youths which they could repay within 30 years or so back to the state. These areas could have their own amenities that could generate money by allowing non residents to visit, like recreational and others. Time to get all refugees out of Lebanon, enough is enough.

10542 km square. How many security plans do we need. One security plan that covers every square inch is all that is needed. One LAF, one ISF and the rest plain civilians.
