The Lebanese army confirmed on Sunday that a number of soldiers were wounded by a shell that hit a military barracks in Ain Al-Hilweh refugee camp in Saida, South Lebanon.

In a statement, the Lebanese army said some of its posts and observation points came under gunfire during ongoing clashes in Ain Al-Hilweh

The statement warned of the consequences of exposing military barracks and their personnel to danger, affirming that the army will respond to the sources of fire.

In the same context, the Palestinian presidency said the massacre that targeted the commander of the National Security Forces and a number of his companions in Saida camps crossed red lines.

In a statement, the presidency considered the latest events as tampering with Lebanese security and the security of the camp by extremist terrorist groups that persistently pushed the camp into the agendas of undermining stability.

The Palestinian presidency stressed that the security of the camps is a red line, adding that it supports actions taken by the Lebanese government in order to impose law and order, including in Palestinian refugee camps.

Elsewhere, the statement maintained that the Palestinian Presidency will continue to coordinate with the Lebanese state and its official and security agencies to preserve the security and sovereignty of Lebanon and protect the Palestinian camps.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that clashes are ongoing in Ain Al-Hilweh camp, despite Palestinian factions reaching a ceasefire agreement.

On Saturday, clashes erupted in the camp after an assassination attempt that targeted an official in one of the militant groups in the camp called Abu Qatada who was injured by direct gunfire.

Earlier on Sunday, clashes renewed in the camp, resulting in the killing of the commander of the Palestinian National Security Forces in Saida, Abu Ashraf Al-Armoushi, and four of his companions, bringing the number of those killed in the clashes to six.
