The former two were accused of belonging to the group of fugitive terrorist Fadi Ibrahim Ahmad Ali Ahmad, nicknamed "Abou El-khattab", Daesh affiliate inside the Ain El-Hilweh camp. These two Palestinians were monitoring soldiers, planning to carry out acts of terror against the Army.
They were tasked with buying explosives and tools from inside Ain El-Hilweh camp to use in manufacturing bombs and explosive belts. They also sheltered terrorists upon the request of the so-called "Abou El-Khattab", and provided them with forged Palestinian IDs so as to facilitate their travels.
Moreover, they wired money for the sake of the said terrorist group through an office belonging to the abovementioned Syrian arrestee.
