The committee formed at the beginning of this month to investigate the assassination of Palestinian National Security leader Major General Muhammad al-Armoushi (Abu Ashraf) and his companions during the events in Ain al-Hilweh camp, as well as the assassination of Abdul Rahman Farhud, affiliated with the Islamists, has concluded its work and submitted a report, which included the names of the killers, to the Joint Palestinian Action Authority in Lebanon. This authority held a meeting to discuss the details of the report last Tuesday at the Palestinian embassy in Beirut, attended by representatives from the Lebanese army leadership and members from the "Amal" movement and other Lebanese forces.
An official statement released by the attendees indicated that "mechanisms for follow-up have been agreed upon, starting with the handover of the suspects in the assassination to the Lebanese judiciary." Ghassan Ayoub, a member of the Joint Palestinian Action Authority in Lebanon who participated in the meeting, stated that the report submitted by the investigation committee included a list of the killers' names, and it was agreed not to disseminate these names to support efforts aimed at extraditing them. Ayoub clarified that "a deadline has been given to the concerned parties to communicate with extremist groups to convince the suspects to surrender; otherwise, further steps will be taken within the framework of Palestinian unity, as a specific mechanism has been established to implement what has been agreed upon under the auspices of Lebanese forces."
According to information, during the last meeting at the Palestinian embassy, there was an agreement to end armed manifestations and remove barriers obstructing visibility.
Palestinian sources confirmed that Fatah is anticipating the surrender of the killers of al-Armoushi and his companions and will not be lenient if there is no response, as they will not allow these individuals to hold the camp hostage to external agendas. Moreover, well-informed Palestinian sources do not rule out some understanding regarding the exit of those involved in the assassination of al-Armoushi from the camp to Idlib or elsewhere, considering that their agreement to surrender will not be an easy matter. The sources added to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat: "Initial indicators do not suggest that these groups will be responsive, which makes us fear a new round of escalation."
