Roads Blocked after Lebanese Man Killed in al-Beddawi Camp Gunfight
Relatives of Lebanese citizen Ali Shatleh blocked roads with burning tires at the al-Beddawi Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon on Sunday after the man was killed by stray gunshots during an overnight gunfight.
Saturday's clash pitted drug dealers and members of the Joint Palestinian Security Force.
“Cautious calm has been engulfing the camp since dawn, amid a heavy security deployment,” state-run National News Agency said.
“The streets are totally empty and all shops are closed,” NNA added, noting that the Lebanese army has upped its security measures at the camp's entrances and in its vicinity.
