Ein El-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp

Parts of the Articles by Middle-East Monitor

The Lebanese authorities have begun constructing an isolation wall around one of the country’s largest Palestinian refugee camps, as they begin a process of securitising refugees who have been living in Lebanon since the State of Israel forced them out of their homes in 1948.

Munir al-Maqdah, the head of the Joint Palestinian Security Forces, told Sky News Arabia that “the wall is being built outside the camp and far away from residential areas.” The military informed Palestinian leaders in Lebanon that “the wall and [watchtowers] are being built for security concerns, which we accepted,” Maqdah added.

He acknowledged, however, that the wall will have a bad effect on camp residents. “The psychological implications of a wall will be negative and difficult [to overcome],” he said, adding that the military agreed to a number of Palestinian proposals to amend the wall’s path and the watchtowers’ locations. Lebanese authorities say that Ain al-Hilweh has become a refuge for terrorists who are planning to carry out attacks on Lebanese targets.
