SAADNAYEL, Lebanon: Some 1,500 packages of food aid donated by Hezbollah were burned by Palestinian refugees from Syria and local residents in the Bekaa Wednesday, the second such incident in a week. Omar Halabi, the head of the Saadnayel Youth League, told The Daily Star that a truck with boxes of aid was unloaded in the morning at the offices of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Halabi said when the aid was distributed, the refugees noticed the labels attached to each package explaining that the aid was a gift from the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon to our brethren, the displaced Palestinians from Syria. When the refugees realized that the aid was from the same party which is killing their people in Qusair and in other places, they, with dozens of locals, took the boxes from the Palestinian Cultural Center and burned them, Halabi said. The DFLP is politically affiliated with the Syrian regime, and its leader, Nayef Hawatmeh, lives in Syria. In February he was wounded after a bomb exploded in the Syrian capital of Damascus. Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, switched allegiances and broke off with President Bashar Assads government in the wake of the uprisings. Last Thursday, Palestinian refugees from Syria set fire to humanitarian aid donated by Hezbollah in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp, citing their anger over the partys role fighting alongside the Syrian regime. Refugees gathered in front of the camps Kifah School holding banners explaining their decision to destroy the aid, which the party is distributing across a number of Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
