The assassination of a senior officer of the Fatah movement inside the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in South Lebanon has revived fears over attempts to tamper with Lebanon’s security from inside the Palestinian camps.
Palestinian sources in Ain al-Hilweh stated that unidentified gunmen opened fire and shot Brigadier Saeed Alaeddine al-Asous in the head, while he was visiting a friend inside the vegetable market in the camp. The official was rushed to the hospital, where he passed away.
