Vladimir Putin would be recruiting Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Syrian elite soldiers to fight in Ukraine after a brief military training. The Palestinians would earn about 350 dollars a month (about 329 euros) and about 300 have already completed their training and have been sent to the front.
A journalistic investigation indicates that young Palestinians residing in Lebanon are contacted by activists linked to the Palestinian Embassy. They are looking for Palestinians born after 1969 because they do not have official Lebanese documentation and this makes it easier for them to travel to join the conflict as mercenaries. The Lebanese government also does not have the power to monitor or follow their movements in Ukraine. Most of them come from the largest Palestinian refugee camp in the country, Ein al Jalua, located south of the city of Sidon and are usually affiliated with the Palestinian movement Al Fatá led by Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas, or the Popular Front for Liberation. of Palestine (PFLP).
This recruitment would be known and even coordinated with the Islamist Hezbollah militia party. The pro-Iranian organization itself would be recruiting sympathizers with knowledge of drone management and experts in urban guerrilla warfare. This recruitment is favored by the “miserable” situation in the refugee camps, in the words of the Lebanese researcher Riad Kahwayi: “There are no jobs for young people,” he pointed out.
