Those who have left include Khaled Jibril, son of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) founder Ahmad Jibril, as well as Palestinian Popular Struggle Front secretary-general Khaled Abdel Majid and Fatah al-Intifada secretary-general Ziad al-Saghir.

Washington, which considers several Palestinian factions to be “terrorist” organisations, last week announced it was lifting sanctions on Syria after earlier saying Damascus needed to respond to demands including suppressing “terrorism” and preventing “Iran and its proxies from exploiting Syrian territory”.

The factions “did not receive any official request from the authorities to leave Syrian territory” but instead faced restrictions and property confiscations, the first Palestinian factional leader said, noting that some factions “were de facto prohibited from operating” or their members were arrested.

The new authorities have seized property from “private homes, offices, vehicles and military training camps in the Damascus countryside and other provinces”, he said.

    Allegedly Hezbollah had thousands of underground missiles ready to fire at Israel.

    The problem is that America assigned a new Lebanese president which works together with Israel and the PA to dismantle Hezbollah.

    Usually when a certain red line is crossed there should be massive retaliation. When Israel committed their beeper terror attack Hezbollah should have organized a massive counter attack. Instead they allowed Israel to invade Lebanon and basically did nothing to counter Israel.

    Even now Israel is bombing Hezbollah during the ‘ceasefire’ and Hezbollah is not retaliating.

    I think that Hezbollah is not allowed a big retaliation by Iran. Iran wants to stall as long as possible so they can build up their nuclear arsenal. A large scale escalation which would give America a reason to intervene could ruin their plan. Hezbollah was probably told to not fire back. Though that’s just my assumption.
