A small bomb exploded outside a grocery shop in the Lebanese Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh Tuesday, causing damage but no casualties, according to Palestinian and Lebanese officials. The camp is situated on the outskirts of the southern port city of Sidon.  

 

The blast targeted the shop of Mahmoud Shreidi, who was not there at the time of the explosion, the officials said, according to AP.  

 

The motive for the explosion was unclear, however Palestinian sources at the camp blamed it on "a personal dispute" with another Palestinian refugee. (Albawaba.com)
