will make an official visit to Lebanon on May 21, Kuwait's al-Rai newspaper reported on Friday.

''The protocol arrangements of the visit have practically started, undertaken by Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon Ashraf Dabbour, amid expectations that the issue of Palestinian weapons will be on the table of discussions as part of the visit's official agenda,'' informed Palestinian sources told the daily.

''The handover of weapons will only take place through an official Lebanese-Palestinian dialogue led by Abbas, in his capacity as the president of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people,'' the sources added.

''This dialogue will represent a groundwork that allows for calm and gradual progress, away from any clash or security explosion inside the camps,'' the sources said.

Hamas handed over member suspected of rocket attacks on Israel to Lebanese army

[IsraelTimes] Hamas hands over to the Lebanese Armed Forces a member of the terror group suspected of involvement in two March rocket attacks on Israel, according to Lebanese media.

The suspect is given to the military at the entrance to Sidon’s Ain al-Hilweh camp, says the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation.

Lebanon has warned Hamas not to conduct operations that compromise the country’s security or sovereignty, Beirut’s Supreme Defense Council said on Friday.

The Lebanese Army reportedly arrested Hamas members in Ain al-Hilweh and another refugee camp in April over alleged involvement in the rocket attacks.
