now it looks like Assad's claiming there are 'rebels' there too, to justify the atrocities they're committing in Yarmouk, in July I believe Assad's forces bombed a Palestinian hospital because they were trating all wounded that came to them not just Assad's people as had been commanded

Syria has been claiming to have been cracking down on "gunmen" in the camps for a while.
