Overview

• Five truckloads from Ein el-Hilweh and three from Beddawi were delivered to the Lebanese army, with the Beddawi convoy headed to a Tripoli barracks.
• PLO-aligned groups conducted the handovers under an agreement to remove arms not under Lebanese state authority.
• Lebanese army vehicles secured the perimeter of Ein el-Hilweh during the transfer, according to an AFP journalist on the scene.
• The initiative follows a May accord between Mahmoud Abbas and President Joseph Aoun and forms part of a staged disarmament plan outlined by Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi.
• The process started in August with earlier transfers from camps around Beirut and Tyre, while Hamas and Islamic Jihad have not joined the effort.
