AIN AL HILWEH: Palestinian factions began handing over weapons from Lebanon’s largest refugee camp on Saturday, a Palestinian official said, as part of a push by the government to disarm non-state groups. Abdel Hadi Al-Asadi, of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), said the umbrella group conducted “the operation of delivering new batches of weapons.” Five truckloads of weapons were handed over in the southern Ain Al-Hilweh camp, the largest in the country, and three more from the northern Beddawi camp, he said.
