A Palestinian national was shot dead in the Rashidieh Palestinian refugee camp (Sour district), in southern Lebanon, the official National News Agency (NNA) reported on Saturday.

Ibrahim Hussein Abdallah, a Palestinian born in 1983, "was playing with a Kalashnikov-type war rifle" and fired a shot that wounded another, Bilal Nabil Mohammad, born in 1989. "He was transferred to the hospital, but did not survive," added the agency.

The gunman was handed over by the Fatah Movement to the Lebanese Army at the entrance to the camp in the afternoon.
