One grenade exploded at 10:30 pm on Sunday inside the said camp at the junction of the vegetable market in Hay al-Tiri. It was followed by another bomb after almost one hour, NNA said.

The third bomb was tossed at 12:30 am. Four other grenades followed until 4:00 am.

No casualties were reported, it added.

Such incidents have become frequent in recent years in Ain el-Hilweh, the largest of Lebanon's 12 Palestinian refugee camps.

I have a feeling that there are more arms hidden in Ain el Hilweh than are owned by the whole of the Lebanese Army.
