Een dag nadat honderden Syrische Palestijnen probeerden de grens met Israel over te komen, breken rellen uit in het Yarmouk vluchtelingenkamp. Ze zouden boos zijn op het leiderschap van het kamp, het Volksfront voor de Bevrijding van Palestina – General Command (PFLP-GC), dat geen naksa demonstraties zou hebben georganiseerd. Volgens een bericht van de Palestine Press Agency waren de vluchtelingen boos op PFLP-GC leider Jibril en Hamas leider Meshaal omdat zij vluchtelingen naar de grens hadden gestuurd om daar gedood te worden. Hoe het ook zij, de PFLP schoot in op de menigte (zonder ze eerst te waarschuwen zoals Israel) en er vielen 14 doden. Het doet de Palestijnen die het kamp bewaken, en van Syrië blijkbaar wapens mogen hebben, blijkbaar niks om die tegen hun eigen bevolking in te zetten. De PFLP-GC staat volgens de PPA dicht bij het Syrische regime.
Ik vraag me af of de media hier net zoveel aandacht aan zullen besteden als aan de doden door Israelisch vuur (het blijft overigens onduidelijk hoeveel doden er waren en hoeveel door Israelisch vuur zijn gedood), of eigenlijk vraag ik me dat niet af L. Het is natuurlijk ook knap ingewikkeld allemaal, met al die kampen en facties en interne strijd, en de meeste mensen houden van simpel en duidelijk.

Fourteen Palestinian refugees were reported killed and another 43 injured on Monday, a report from the Palestinian government's WAFA news said.
The victims were part of a massive group in Al-Yarmok, an unofficial Palestinian refugee camp in the Syrian capital of Damascus, mourning the death of between 10-23 Palestinians by Israeli fire on the Golan Heights ceasefire line the day before.
Angered over the failure of camp leaders to organize demonstrations marking the Naksa, the anniversary of Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and Golan Heights, an estimated 100,000 mourners were said to have attacked the headquarters of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command.
Militants with the PFLP-GC reportedly opened fire on the group,who were taken to a local camp hospital for treatment. The report cited hospital staff saying 14 were pronounced dead.
During the clash, mourners reportedly set fire into the PFLP-GC headquarters, and condemned the group for its use of weapons against the crowd.

Palestine Press Agency adds that the PFLP-GC is a close partner with the Syrian leadership. Which would explain why a recognized terrorist group runs the Yarmouk camp.
Sources said that the demonstrators chanted against [PFLP-GC leader] Ahmad Jibril, Khaled Mashaal and other political leaders based in Damascus, accusing them of being agents of the Syrian regime.
EoZ voegt daar later aan toe:
UPDATE 2: Palestine Press Agency updated the story. Apparently the funeral attendees resented that the PFLP-GC head Jibril and Hamas leader Meshal attended the funeral.
They accused both terror leaders of sending Palestinian Arabs to the border to get killed - to serve the agenda of Syria to distract from their own bloody war against their people.

The Yarmouk refugee camp near Damascus was the site of a riot Monday evening, after infuriated mourners lashed out at Palestinian leaders attending the funerals of "Naksa Day" fatalities.
According to the Arab-language Syrian website "Bokra," Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Mashaal was among those caught in the fray, as well as Popular Front General Command (PFLP-GC) Head Ahmed Jibril and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine politburo member Maher al-Taher.
Sources in the refugee camp said the masses were shouting out against the Palestinian leaders and clashed with local security forces, which reportedly fired into the crowds just seconds before.
