The Lebanese army has ordered its units deployed around Palestinian refugee
camps to confront what the government said was a likely Israeli assault,
Aljazeera’s correspondent in Lebanon says.

The deployment came after a number of members of parliament called on armed
groups in the Palestinian refugee camps to disarm.

A number of MPs headed by opposition leader Michel Aoun accused the government
of not taking the matter seriously enough.

Earlier, a siege was imposed by the Lebanese army on the base of a Palestinian
faction deemed to be pro-Syria.

In response, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command
criticised the Lebanese government over what it described as a « pressing siege »
imposed on a number of its military positions in Lebanon.

Lebanese Information Minister Ghazi Al-Aridi has rejected demands for disarming
the refugee camps and Hizb Allah in accordance with the Security Council
resolution 1550.

« Those two files can only be resolved within Lebanese internal dialogue, » he
said at the end of a government meeting.

He stressed at the same time that Lebanon would not accept to destroy itself
for the sake of others. He declined to elaborate further.
