Another Resistance Brigades Member Killed at Ain el-Hilweh
A Palestinian man was on Monday the second member of the Hizbullah-affiliated Resistance Brigades to be murdered in a month at the southern Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh, the state-run National News Agency reported.
Mujahed Balous was critically injured on Sunday when gunmen cut off the electricity from his house and shot him when he went out to check the problem, NNA said
He was taken to hospital where he passed away overnight, it said.
On April 5, Lebanese national Marwan Issa, another Resistance Brigades member, was found killed in the trunk of a car at Ain el-Hilweh.
The camp is the largest in the country and is home to about 50,000 refugees who live in dire conditions. It is also known to harbor extremists and fugitives.
By long-standing convention, the Lebanese army does not enter the country's 12 refugee camps, leaving security inside to the Palestinians themselves.
