Hamas blames Fatah for deadly shooting in Lebanon
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas is blaming rival Fatah for a deadly shooting at a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon on Sunday, as it buries three members killed in the incident.
Hamas official Ayman Shanaa tells mourners that Fatah militia members were behind the shootings, which took place at a Hamas-organized funeral in the Burj Shamali camp on Sunday. He calls it a “heinous and cowardly crime.”
Shanaa also calls the shooting “a premeditated crime” that aims to undermine security and stability in the refugee camps in Lebanon.
He calls for handing the perpetrators “known to all” to the Lebanese security agencies.
The comments are made as thousands attend a funeral for the three in the southern city of Sidon, many of whom raise the green Hamas flag.
