W300

Tension surged in the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon on Monday after unknown assailants shot dead the bodyguard of Jund al-Sham official Oussama al-Shahabi.

Gunmen deployed heavily in al-Sefsaf neighborhood after Ali Khalil, who is also the nephew of al-Shahabi, succumbed to his wounds.

Al-Shahabi is an official in the Jund al-Sham extremist group who is wanted by the Lebanese judiciary on charges of forming a terrorist group, carrying out terrorist acts and the possession of arms and explosives.

Sobhi Abou Arab, the head of the Palestinian National Security Forces in Lebanon, told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that Khalil was admitted to the hospital after an overnight dispute.

The reasons of the dispute remain unknown, he added.

If the armed thugs in Palestinian camps are the armed sunnis then I feel bad for you. the camps are infested with terrorists and are the main contributors to bomb laden cars. plus it is no secret that any criminal who wants to evade the law goes to a Palestinian camp to hide/
That must stop

When will the Lebanese government decide enough is enough, no sovereign nation will ever put up with this, time to take the trash out and clean house once and for all.
