A new Palestinian militant group whose members have been trained to carry out rocket-launching and bombing operations was reportedly formed in the southern refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh to carry out among others an attack on the Egyptian embassy.
Al-Balad daily reported on Sunday that a Palestinian named Jamal Hamad formed the organization, which he named "Jihad movement for the victory of Gaza" with the assistance of Ghandi Sahmarani, a Lebanese wanted from the authorities on several terrorist charges.
The newspaper said several militants from Jund al-Sham and Osbat al-Ansar have joined the new group.
The militants have received training in camps in the Central and Western Bekaa Valley from "foreign experts" brought in under the cover of upgrading fighting capabilities against Israel, according to al-Balad.

"Al-Balad said a Palestinian-Jordanian named Abdullah Liyani al-Hassan arrived in Ain el-Hilweh camp end of 2008 and held several meetings with Osbat al-Ansar official nicknamed Abu Obeida to carry out such attacks."
Be proactive....swat the fly before it bites.
A good idea.
