The Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee announced Friday that the handover of weapons in another two Palestinian refugee camps will begin on Friday, marking a new key step in efforts to curb armed groups outside the State’s authority.

The committee said that weapons collection will start in the northern Beddawi camp and the southern Ain al-Hilweh camp, and will continue for three days.

“Dialogue with Hamas is ongoing regarding the surrender of its weapons,” the committee told Al-Hadath television. “We expect the file to be closed by the end of the month.”
