Four Palestinian refugees were killed in war-ravished Syria on Wednesday at the hands of snipers in Damascus and Diraa.

Eyewitnesses told the PIC that Ahmed Ali Ahmed, a member of the Palestine liberation army stationed in Syria, was killed by a sniper near Yarmouk refugee camp while on his way back from his place of service in Darayya refugee camp.

The workgroup for Palestinians in Syria said that Khalil Al-Ali, 18, was killed at the hands of a sniper in one of Yarmouk camp’s streets while two others in Diraa refugee camp were killed there at the hands of snipers as well.

It said that shelling intensified on the Husseiniya refugee camp prompting many of its inhabitants to seek shelter outside it, while the tight siege imposed by the Syrian regular army on Yarmouk refugee camp continued for the 25th day running.
