The members of the security apparatus of the Palestinian Authority, known as "Failure Intelligence" recently received an order to investigate "information about talent scouts" in the al-Qaeda mission, who operate mainly in the Ein-Hilwa and Mia-Mia refugee camps on the outskirts of Sidon. In the camp, which was established in 1948, more than fifty thousand residents, Those listed on the United Nations UNRWA card and thousands of others, living in the immediate vicinity of the camp, which is managed as a "de facto independent territory" within the Lebanese state, one of a number of similar "districts" scattered throughout the Cedar State. In the camp, a large number of young people stand out which, according to a source familiar with what is happening in the Palestinian community in Lebanon in general, "constitutes a tempting factor in the exchange of terrorism destined for Iraq" Another source said that radical Islamic terrorist groups and jihad movements increased their grip on the camp, a process that began in early 2005 with the withdrawal of the Syrian army. The developments are influenced, among other things, by radicalization of groups Sub-independence in Fatah and its sub-organizations, or refusal organizations, for example the "Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Headquarters" which maintains a small base near the Syrian border. These days, this is how we can learn from publications and information sites about the MAZ and the jihadist terrorism that is taking place In the Sidon area, a process is also related to the difficulties of the Fatah organization in its struggle against the "Islamic Movement-Hamas" or the "Islamic Jihad of Palestine" and in particular the struggle for control of Gaza and various areas in the West Bank. For the heads of the PA security organization, there is probably no doubt that in- Hilva found the head of the snake that threatens the future of the Palestinian leadership of the "Gucci shoes and luxury cars" generation.
It also emerges that in the new Lebanese reality, the supporters of "Al-Qaeda in Iraq" and the ideas of "Jemaah Islami'a" have decided to transfer to Ain-Hilwa and Mia Mia recruiting and human smuggling efforts that operated in the Bekaa, where the Hezbollah-based Lebanese-Shiite organization mainly controls. Compared to the Bekaa and southern Lebanon, Ein Hilwa is a Palestinian center and a Sunni stronghold, while Sidon is actually considered a Shia center. Since the growth of Osama bin Laden's organization, the camps near Sidon (the third largest city) are heard preaching Jihad in the spirit of the Wahhabis and the Salafs, all This is at the expense of the power of "national secular" organizations that have dominated the Palestinian public almost since the foundation of the PLO in 1964. Ramallah's directive to increase Modaini supervision of Ein Hilvah also stems from American and Western pressure, which originates from the Modaini mapping of group connections in the camp, such as "Otsev 'T al Ansar" (the origin of the name in the supporters and helpers of the Prophet Muhammad. Utsab't B.K - Divisions) "Watsb't al Noor" (the light, the fire meaning Islam) and others, with ad-hoc martial names, for example "Shabab al- Kifah al-Mosl'ah (Youth of the Armed Struggle) who are not affiliated with the PLO or the PLO. These organizations have cells in Western Europe, mainly in Britain, Germany, the Benelux countries and Scandinavia.
The writer of these lines learned from a British source, who is present in the security community in his country, that the "British" extremist preacher Sheikh Omar bin Bakri and his supporters in the "Islamic Freedom Party" and its counterpart "Jamaat al-Mohajiron" (the group of immigrants - according to Haggis) Ra Shabkaran) maintain contact with supporters in the refugee camps of Lebanon and, among other things, transfer there funds intended to strengthen the idea of "Jamaa-Islamiya", the dream of the Islamic caliphate and the "al-Qaeda" network for the issue. Emissaries of radical Islamic organizations in Europe, which from a conceptual point of view organizations can be compared "to a movement The Islamic Hamas" or "Islamic Jihad" with its branches, the "Muslim Brotherhood" and to a large extent "Hezbollah" (the Shia) were often seen in Beirut, or in neighboring Cyprus, when they were in the company of extremists from the camp, or their colleagues from the Gaza Strip. More was known that the renewal of the urgent intelligence interest in everything related to Ein Hilvah also comes in connection with international, not necessarily Arab, terrorism. Among other things, the camp attracts North Korean attention, which has been renewed in recent months, after in 2003 and with the assistance of the Fatah mechanism in Lebanon, the gendarmerie in Beirut arrested Gim Kim Soo, who was defined as an "extremist in his way of a kind of hilwa" and a large sum of money was found in the North Korean authority , which was probably intended for the recruitment of Palestinian and Lebanese agents. (The North Korean intelligence has been operating in Lebanon since the late XNUMXs. The writer of these lines and his command, in the late XNUMXs, uncovered the North Korean recruitment of a girl from Marg Ayon. Her story was published, among other things, in Mosaf-Maariv) to the picture Labyrinth - the terror and intelligence, which is typical of Ein Hilva and the Levant in general, are joined by the assessments of Turkish intelligence, which is trying to prevent the organization of Kurdish-Islamic and Kurdish-leftist terrorism that threaten Turkey, including the "Kurdish Workers' Party" (PKK), a non-religious extremist left-wing organization. The Israeli intelligence, which warned In the past, on the infiltration of "al-Qaeda" and its agents into the refugee camps, he follows what is happening in the camp, mainly in relation to recent warnings, regarding the intention of "al-Qaeda" to act against Israel, including plans to poison the drinking water flowing in the national carrier complex and show attacks and Shahid suicide.
In the recent clashes between groups competing for control of Ein-Hilwa, the number of "non-Arabs" (the definition includes Muslims not of Arab cultural origin but other: Caucasians, Asians, Africans, Persians, Muslims, etc.) stood out who were identified near the offices of Jihad groups and militias Extremism has been seen near mosques and places where prayer meetings and Koran study are held. Dozens of al-Qaeda operatives and Afghanistan veterans are still in Ein Hilwa, who in 2003 after several "days of combat" were expelled from the camp to which they fled shortly after the collapse of the "Taliban" after the removal of the "non-Arabs" A kind of hilwa, an operation in which the Fatah organization, Nazarites from Sidon, the Syrians and the Iranians were involved, several dozen "foreigners" moved to the Bekaa, where they hid in "Hezbollah" strongholds. Foreigners who arrived in Lebanon after the "Ein-Hilwa deportation" entered the country illegally, including those who defined themselves as "tourists" or, for the purpose of deception, "religious seminary students" etc. For various intelligence agencies, there is no doubt that "the foreigners" both new and old, were recruited by my supporters "Al-Qaeda" and that the large camp has recently been used as a place to organize and concentrate volunteers before they go on missions, including "operational deployment" in Iraq. It was also reported from various sources that "senior jihadists" were sent to Ein Hilwa, to engage in the recruitment and training of volunteers from the Palestinian pool. From the general public of young Sunnis, who have spent their entire lives in the camp and after a waiting period, which includes a credibility check, the recruits receive training related to attack techniques, warfare tactics in built-up areas, religious training on the way to extremism in the Wahhabi style, or as jihad publications in Western languages say, "preparations for martyrdom" (Sanctification through suicide, or death in the name of the prophet). On the practical-logistical side, the camp near Sidon serves as a base for "ordering and issuing fake identity documents and travel documents" produced by counterfeiters and document dealers of all kinds that can be found mainly in the areas of the "state within a state" such as Ein- The Sunni hilwa, or in the Shiite baqa.
The recruits-volunteers are sent to their destinations through Beirut and east from there towards Syria and the Iraqi border, or they are sent to the large Haskha refugee camp in northeastern Syria, a meeting place with smugglers and terrorist/guerrilla agents in Iraq. In Haskha there is a diverse population, including Kurds, Iranians, Iraqis and Palestinians Other volunteers make their way to Iraq from Lebanon through Europe and from there to Jordan or Iran from where they infiltrate into Iraq. These recruits are assimilated into the extreme Sunni community of the target countries. Among the latter, those who are considered "Eichot volunteers" are specially marked as "stars" who, because of their origin and citizenship, are stationed in Palestine and in various cases in Israel as well.
What is happening in Ein Hilva, in the latest incarnation that followed the withdrawal of the Syrian army and the Hariri murder crisis, constitutes a kind of "we were already in this movie" situation, which arouses urgent media interest, out of the appreciation and concern that is made in the labyrinth of the crowded alleys, mosques and markets of Ein Hilva and Mia-Mia , far from the reach of the Lebanese government, endangers the PA's ability to control the important camp. A focused assessment of the same matter, which is accepted by intelligence officials, terrorism researchers and expert observers of Lebanese affairs, is that the process of "rejuvenating" Ein-Hilwa as a terrorist base in Israel will soon manifest itself through Jihadi terrorism, which sprouts and strengthens almost without hindrance.
