Seven Palestinian refugees were killed and dozens injured late Thursday in a bombing that targeted Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus. The head of the militant group al-Omari Brigades told Maan that a military helicopter dropped an explosive barrel on houses in the Palestine Park area of the camp. The injured were still being removed from the debris and taken to hospitals, Ismail Abu Hani al-Omari said. The explosion destroyed three buildings and caused extensive damage, al-Omari said. Militants in the village of Yalda west of the camp hit the helicopter with a missile after it struck the camp, he added. The forces responsible for the strike were not immediately identified.
