إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A former Palestinian convict was killed by three masked men at the refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh at dawn Friday, the National News Agency reported.
NNA said that Saber Shukri al-Khatib, a 25-year-old member of the mainstream Fatah faction, was shot dead by the three men in the camp's al-Manshiyeh neighborhood around 2:00 am.
The assailants escaped to an unknown location, the agency said.
According to NNA, al-Khatib had been previously jailed in a Lebanese prison for involvement in incidents and shootings in Ain el-Hilweh that lies near the southern city of Sidon.
Following the incident, the Palestinian follow-up committee issued a statement after a meeting it held at Fatah's base to open an investigation into the killing and restore order and stability to the camp.
Ain el-Hilweh, the largest Palestinian camp in the country, is home to about 50,000 refugees and is known to harbor extremists and fugitives.

Lebanon's army can't even enter the camp. They 've tried if they thought nahr el bared was a fight, they have no idea what waits them in ain el hilweh. I don't condone criminals but if the Lebanese state gave the palestinians there rights in Lebanon and stop treating them like fifth class citizens then maybe you wouldn't have all the problems. And to all you hating on palestinians I hope the next time lebanon is at war and all you haters become refugees and see how it feels like, why isn't the palestinian allowed to own a house in Lebanon and a German or Canadian is allowed.

I want to also mention that even though we have borders today and different nations. The people of palestine Canaan and the Lebanese Phoenician are actually the same people. So who drew the border lines. Divide and conquer. And also to reming you haters back in your grandfather days when you were still riding donkeys, Palestine was booming and people from Lebanon went there to work. I sometimes wonder how did ome of the folks get rich so fast In a span of 50 years. Now they riding BMW. And the answer to that is there is a lot of sellouts. When Israel left Lebanon they left there agents. What are you so proud of your Lebanese state were prostitution. You sell your women to Saudi and foreigners. What are you So proud of?
