Palestinian families sheltered in AlKifah School, in Ein AlHilweh refugee camp, south of Lebanon, have spoken out against the mistreatment and bullying they have been subjected to by a so-called “Tanous” from the Lebanese national forces.
The residents said “Tanous” has been involved in several assaults and violent acts against Palestinian refugees who fled war-torn Syria.
Recently, he reportedly demanded an increase in house rents in the area and violently beat an elderly Palestinian man from Syria and his wife. The latter was rushed to a hospital to be treated for wounds inflicted by the iron rod with which she was beaten. “Tanous” also attempted to beat the man’s child before members of the Joint Security Forces showed up in the area.
At the same time, commander of the National Security Forces in Lebanon, Muneer AlMuqdeh, denied any affiliations between the group and “Tanous”. However, the residents confirmed the strong ties between the two sides.
