Several people dead in explosion at south Lebanon Palestinian camp
[SHAFAQ] A large explosion rocked a Paleostinian camp in the southern Lebanese port city of Tyre on Friday night causing a number of deaths and injuries, state media reported.A Paleostinian source inside the camp said at least 12 people had been injured and there were an unknown number of fatalities.

The explosion took place at a Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, 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 reported.

Shehab News Agency, seen as close to Hamas, quoted a Paleostinian source as saying the earth-shattering kaboom was caused by the ignition of oxygen canisters stored for use in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hamas maintains a presence in a number of Paleostinian camps in Lebanon Hezbollahstan
...In 2020 Hezbollah blew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate facility exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that. And it ain't never coming to trial...
The surrounding area had been evacuated and rescue crews had deployed, the Paleostinian source said.

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.

A number of armed Paleostinian factions, including Hamas and the Fatah Movement, hold effective control over roughly a dozen Paleostinian camps in the country, which Lebanese authorities by custom do not enter.

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported an unspecified number of deaths, but local media and civil defense workers on scene said there had been no fatalities. A security source also said fatalities had not been recorded.

The NNA reported that the blast emanated from a Hamas weapons depot in the Burj al-Shemali camp and a judge had ordered security forces to launch an investigation.

The area surrounding the blast had been evacuated and rescue crews had deployed, the Palestinian source said.
