Parent

Hamsho International Group

Confidence

Multiple independent technical or documentary indicators agree, with no contrary evidence.

Parent set to Hamsho International Group on the press ownership statement, not Sama Alsham Group, whose site displays the logo but never describes it — "hotels and resorts" is an OFAC-listed Hamsho business line, and other Sama-branded hospitality entities carry Hamsho contact details too (see palmyra-village-resort). "Strong" not "confirmed": press, not primary. Same Yaafour location where Cham Contracting installed UNDOF's security system, Jan 2015; see cham-contracting.
