A crime shook the Burj al-Barajneh camp and the neighborhood, killing two people and wounding a woman, when they were shot by a young man in his early thirties, on the background of an assault on electricity. The shock was compounded by the fact that one of the dead was Hikmat Akar, who was able to establish a financial empire in the camp and the southern suburbs, while the other dead was Muhammad Awaid, who had long identified himself as an official of the Resistance Brigades in the camp. As for the killer, Ali al-Sakka, he belongs to a family known to belong to the “General Command”, with unconfirmed information that the killer belongs to the aforementioned organization, but there is a consensus among the camp’s residents that the crime has no political background. Noting that the dead, wounded and murdered are Palestinians.
Hikmat Akar and Muhammad Owaid
Two novels
In the details told by the camp residents, Ali Al-Sakka (32 years old), who lives outside the Burj Al-Barajneh camp at the eastern end, in the Al-Anan area, separating Haret Hreik and Burj Al-Barajneh, assaulted an electricity cable owned by Hikmat Akar (46 years old) with illegal extensions. Aker had no choice but to beat him and ask him to leave the area, according to what the residents say. Al-Sakka did not comply with his request, and returned to his house, located on the second floor, opposite Akar’s office. The latter, accompanied by Awaid, went to the al-Sakka house at about 6:00 p.m., and two accounts separated. The first says that Aker and Awaid wanted reconciliation, while the second narration talks about their intention to attack Al-Sakka, who was armed with a Kalashnikov rifle, and shot Aker and Awaid as soon as they entered the house, and hit each one with several bullets that killed Awaid immediately, while Aker died after about half an hour. succumbed to his wounds. Al-Sakka’s sister, who came from Denmark to visit her family in Lebanon, was also injured.
Soldiers and Malays
Immediately, dozens of members of the Lebanese army, accompanied by armored personnel carriers, mullahs, and a number of other vehicles, headed to the scene of the accident, while other members of the army and security services were heading to Bahman Hospital. Those elements thoroughly searched the building where the accident occurred, until they were able to find the killer on the seventh floor. The occurrence of the incident outside the camp contributed to the relative control of reactions, but this did not prevent complications inside the camp, including burning the house of a relative of the killer. However, the movement of the Palestinian factions with the Security Committee prevented larger incidents from occurring until now, despite the great fears. Tension still prevails. Especially since the dead had a presence in some circles. Hikmat Akar has dozens of employees working in the field of real estate and electricity generators in the camp. During the past two years, he was able to extend his influence outside the camp and extend a very wide electricity network in the southern suburbs, which seemed surprising and raised many questions. But in conclusion, the people of Burj al-Barajneh camp live in a state of great terror, fearing the repercussions of what happened.
