Tensions rose Friday evening in the Beddawi Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon after the Joint Palestinian Security Force attempted to arrest a suspect inside the camp, our correspondent Michel Hallak reported.
The operation failed after residents helped the suspect escape. During the raid, the Joint Force seized a rifle, a pistol and a motorcycle used by the suspect.
In a statement released Saturday, the Joint Palestinian Security Force in Beddawi called on camp residents “to cooperate” and make their work easier. “Security is a collective responsibility. We are all partners in protecting our camp. The Joint Force serves our people. We will not allow any troublemaker to endanger the camp’s security,” the statement concluded.
