Beirut : A bomb exploded late Monday inside the Palestinian refugee camp Ain el Hilweh in southern Lebanon, but did not inflict any casualties, Palestinian sources said.
The bomb exploded in Hay al Manshiyeh, an area inside Ain el Hilweh, which is the home of some 70,000 Palestinian refugees, and caused only material damage, the sources said.
Ain el Hilweh, one of the 12 camps that host some 367,000 Palestinian refugees across Lebanon, has in recent months seen clashes between the mainstream Fatah movement and hardlined groups Jund al-Sham and Fatah al-Islam.
Both Jund al-Sham and Fatah al-Islam, are Sunni movements with “close links to the international network al-Qaeda.” The groups have also been involved in several clashes in recent weeks with Lebanese Army troops who usually control all entrances leading the 12 camps.Security inside the camps is in the hands of Palestinian groups.
