Lebanon Launches Disarmament of Palestinian Factions in Refugee Camps

Lebanon Launches Disarmament of Palestinian Factions in Refugee Camps

Lebanon is starting to take weapons away from Palestinian groups in refugee camps.

This is part of a bigger plan to make sure only the government has weapons.

The first weapons were handed over from the Burj al-Barajneh camp to the Lebanese army.

This decision was made after a meeting between Lebanese and Palestinian leaders.

Palestinian groups have had a lot of freedom in these camps for a long time.

This is the most serious effort in years to address the issue of weapons in the camps.

The government is working on a plan to control all weapons by the end of the year.
