Bomb Explodes in Ain el-Hilweh Camp

Assailants tossed Saturday morning a hand grenade near a Palestinian National Security Forces checkpoint in the southern Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh, the National News Agency reported.

NNA said, an unidentified suspect threw a bomb near the PNS forces checkpoint in Darb al-Sim at the southern end of camp.

The explosion did not lead to any causalities, it added.

Sheikh Hussam al-Aylani, Imam of al-Ghofran mosque in the city of Sidon, urged the Palestinian factions to exert “all efforts needed to thwart the extremist groups' terror attempts, and to prevent al-Nusra Front from controlling the camp.

“Their presence endangers the camp and its surroundings,” he said.
