(Yediot Ahronot-Ynet) Yitzhak Benhorin - Damascus has been secretly dispatching dozens of Palestinian youths to Lebanon during the past two weeks, alongside the apparent withdrawal of Syrian forces from the country, Farid N. Ghadry, president of the Reform Party of Syria, a U.S.-based opposition party, said this week. "The youths underwent training by Syrian security services, designed to incite and disrupt Lebanese opposition," he said. The young men were told their Palestinian brothers in Lebanon were about to be massacred and needed their help. Ghadry said he expects hundreds of additional Palestinians to be dispatched to Lebanon after undergoing Syrian training.
