Palestinian activist Asef Moussa and another activist from the al-Badawi family were wounded Sunday in an attack on the Joint Palestinian Security Force in the Ain el-Hilweh refugee camp, state-run National News Agency reported.

The camp's al-Fawqani street witnessed heavy gunfire and the hurling of a hand grenade when an armed group attacked the guards of the JPSF outside the Martyr Saeed al-Youssef Hall, NNA said.
