The leadership of the Palestinian National Security Forces in the Sidon area condemned the targeting of two Lebanese Army centers around the Ain al-Hilweh camp in a statement. They said, "We consider this a serious and condemnable development for us." They noted that "the targets of these terrorist groups in Ain al-Hilweh are not only the Fatah Movement and our forces, but also the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese citizen, as the terrorist does not differentiate between nationality and religion inside and outside the camp. We believe that these terrorist groups in Ain al-Hilweh and their leadership have been sentenced in absentia by the military court in Lebanon for crimes of terrorism that threaten the security of Lebanon and the Lebanese people."
