    Abandoned and Ungoverned: Lebanon’s Palestinian and Syrian Populations and the Emerging Radicalization Landscape

    Lebanon faces resurgent radicalization risks as conditions similar to the 2007 Nahr al-Bared conflict reemerge. The article examines how Palestinian and Syrian refugee populations in Lebanon's ungoverned spaces create recruitment opportunities for extremist groups like Fatah al-Islam. Historical analysis of the 2007 conflict, which killed over 400 people and displaced 30,000 residents, serves as a warning for future jihadist recruitment.
