Palestinian killed by celebratory gunfire in Lebanon
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian man was accidentally killed last night by celebratory gunfire in a refugee camp in Lebanon after the announcement of an open-ended truce between Israel and the Gaza Strip, The Daily Star reports, citing Lebanese security sources.
Omar Mohammad, 32, was killed by a stray bullet in the Ain al-Hilweh camp, the largest of the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, after the truce is announced. His family then shoots in the air in retaliation for his death.
Local security forces in the southern Lebanese camp intervene to prevent an escalation.
