“In collaboration with the Joint Palestinian Security Force and after a surveillance operation, army intelligence agents arrested the fugitive Ahmed A. at the Mieh Mieh camp,” MTV reported.

“The detainee is a Palestinian who was born in Syria and is accused of belonging to a terrorist organization,” it said.

“He and another suspect were injured around two weeks ago when a bomb they were preparing accidentally exploded in the Hitteen neighborhood of the Ain el-Hilweh camp,” the TV network added.

The suspect then went into hiding and managed to flee Ain el-Hilweh to Mieh Mieh, it said.

“The army intelligence directorate is now interrogating him to know his affiliations, who he wanted to target with the bomb, and whether the target was inside or outside the camp,” MTV added.

The second suspect, who reportedly lost a leg in the explosion, is still being pursued, the TV network noted.
