After IDF strike, Hamas claims it has no military installations in Lebanon

Hamas claims it has no military installations in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, dismissing Israel’s announcement of having hit a Hamas training compound on Tuesday as “lies.”

Blaming Israel for a “brutal assault” on the Ain al-Hilweh camp, Hamas says in a statement that “claims that the targeted location was a ‘training compound affiliated with the movement’ are pure fabrications and lies,” as it insists: “There are no military installations in the Palestinian camps in Lebanon.”

The IDF released a video of a strike hitting a building, but Hamas claims that “the targeted site was an open sports field frequented by the youth of the camp,” and that “those targeted were a group of young boys” on the field at the time.
