BEIRUT, 11 December 2021, (TON): State media reported “a large explosion has rocked a Palestinian camp in the southern Lebanese port city of Tyre, causing a number of deaths and injuries.”
A Palestinian source inside the camp told media that at least 12 people had been injured and there were an unknown number of fatalities after the blast late.
The explosion took place at a suspected Hamas weapons depot in the Burj al-Shemali camp and a judge had ordered security forces to launch an investigation, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.
The NNA said “the army cordoned off the area, preventing people from entering or leaving the camp.”
Videos from the scene shared by local media show a number of small bright red flashes above the southern city, followed by a large explosion and the sound of glass breaking.
