"Nahr el-Bared, like the other 11 Palestinian camps in Lebanon, has been off limits to Lebanese authorities under a nearly 40-year-old agreement that stipulated Palestinians would run their own affairs."
Its about time the Lebanese took control of their own country, too long they have been
This "Syrian Peace-Keeping Force" was nothing more than an army of occupation, who contrived to control Lebanon, their agenda to get pro- Syrian Lebanese sympathetic to Syria in power, the eventual plan would have been the complete annexation of the country.
The Palestinians were originally kicked out of camps in Jordan for causing problems with attacks on Israel resulting in retaliation Israeli air strikes on Jordan, King Hussein gave them the boot and most ended up in Syria and Lebanon.
Were they have been causing trouble for years.
It was attacks from Palestinian Camps in Southern Lebanon near the Israeli-Border that caused the Israelis to go in back in 1977-78.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (U.N.I.F.I.L.) were sent in to monitor the Israeli with-drawal, and set up a buffer zone, next to the Christian-Arab buffer zone with Israel. The Christian Arab Buffer zone was removed when the Hezbollah took over all South Lebanon back in 2000, and the UN Force was drastically reduced.In all that time Syria and Iran were funding, supplying, and direct major efforts to keep the country of Lebanon unstable.
To the Lebanese Army, now falls the un-enviable task to root the Muslim fanatics out of the Palestinian Camps, this group is not even wanted by the Palestinians as the are known to be lap-dogs of the Iranians and Syrians who have little love for the Palestinian cause unless it suits them to be seen "helping" their Palestinian brothers, mainly done for PR results.
I personally found the Lebanese people to be very kind, hospitable and sick and tired of a situation forced upon them through no fault of their own, the guilty party originally being Damascus based and now in partnership with Tehran.

Yeah, way to go! Obliterate Fatah and Hamas!
Notice how the news media aren't giving the Lebanese the same kind of crap they gave the Israelis who did the same thing. Bit of a double standard, don't you think?
