Several people were reportedly injured and several others died in the explosion of an arms depot located inside the Palestinian camp of Bourj al Chamali, three kilometers from Tire in southern Lebanon where it was felt.
According to the National News Agency, the explosion was caused by a fire in an oil tank located near a mosque controlled by Hamas where weapons were stored.
The Lebanese Army immediately deployed on the scene, also taking control of the entrances and exits of the Palestinian camp and prohibiting access.
