Four Spanish journalists and peace activists were beaten Sunday by gunmen belonging to Abdullah Shridi’s Esbat al-Nour.

Eyewitnesses at Sidon’s Ain al-Hilweh camp said the four journalists proceeded into the camp wearing peace T-shirts and raising a banner for peace.

Upon reaching the Safsaf area, where Shridi and his group operate, the journalists were intercepted and beaten severely. Witnesses said their shirts and banner were shredded and their cameras destroyed.
Following the incident, reports on the whereabouts of the foreign journalists circulated, with some sources indicating they were still in the camp, but eyewitnesses confirmed that the four Spaniards had left the camp in a taxi soon after the attack.
