#1 ISIS would find taking over Ain el Hilweh a challenge.

For one thing its deep in Lebanon - on the coast and many Shiite areas are near there.

For another, the place has a huge population these days - probably 100,000 or so - because of the conflict (also a lot of ordinary criminals hide there to avoid being taken to Lebanon jails)
