Report: Handover of Palestinian arms to begin from south Lebanon
by Naharnet Newsdesk 16 June 2025, 16:57 The major developments in the region, especially the Israeli-Iranian war, have reshuffled all cards in Lebanon and frozen the discussion of a number of files, most notably the handover of Palestinian weapons present in refugee camps, a process that was supposed to begin Monday from Beirut's camps, a media report said. Official sources told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that the relevant Palestinian sides in Lebanon are yet to be informed of any instructions, whether from the leadership in Ramallah or from Lebanese security agencies, regarding the handover of weapons present in any camp during the coming days. 'This does not mean freezing the file, but rather waiting for resolving some internal Palestinian issues that are being addressed,' the sources said. 'The factions requested a grace period before the start of the handover of weapons from Beirut's camps, and it has been agreed to begin from the South's camps that fall within U.N. Resolution 1701's area of operations,' the sources added. 'The handover will begin from the Tyre region where the al-Bass camp is located and the al-Rashidiyeh and al-Burj al-Shamali camps will follow,' the sources explained, noting that 'execution will take place over stages and without specific deadlines.' And according to Lebanese sources, Azzam al-Ahmad, the Fatah Movement official in charge of the Lebanese file, will return to Lebanon over the next days at the head of a security delegation to continue discussed the handover mechanisms and the rest of the details. Al-Ahmad had spent days in Lebanon prior to Eid al-Adha in a bid to resolve some disputes within the Fatah Movement over this file. He also held talks with Lebanese security agencies and state authorities.

Air raid sirens sound in Palestinian cities to commemorate 77th anniversary of Nakba
LONDON: Palestinians in the Occupied Territories on Wednesday commemorated the 77th anniversary of the national catastrophe in 1948 known as the Nakba. Air raid sirens sounded for 77 seconds in various Palestinian cities in the West Bank, marking the anniversary of the Nakba. The commemoration took place amid ongoing Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip, leading to forced displacements and accusations of genocide, with more than 52,000 Palestinians killed since late 2023, according to the Wafa news agency. Israeli actions in the West Bank have resulted in the displacement of 40,000 people from the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps, an increase in settler attacks, home raids, and the banning of UNRWA, the agency responsible for providing relief to Palestinian refugees. Wafa reported that thousands of Palestinians participated in a rally in Ramallah on Wednesday, carrying Palestinian flags, black banners, and door keys, symbols of the right of return. Mahmoud Al-Aloul, deputy chairman of the Fatah Movement, said Palestinians mark the Nakba 'under difficult circumstances.' He said: 'There is a more severe and painful catastrophe currently being experienced by our people in the Gaza Strip, where the occupation is claiming the lives of children and women, and is carrying out massacres, siege, and starvation. 'The massacres are extending to the West Bank governorates, and settlers are wreaking terror against citizens, their land, and Islamic and Christian holy sites, under the protection of the occupation forces,' he added. 'This is in addition to the abuse of prisoners, which has resulted in the martyrdom of dozens of them in occupation prisons.' During the Nakba in 1948 Jewish militias drove about 750,000 Palestinians from towns and villages, events that led to the establishment of modern-day Israel. Palestinian refugees were settled in UN-established camps in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. The majority of the families' towns and villages are in Israeli territory.
