Hundreds of residents of Sidon’s Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp protested in the streets, as the United States was set to inaugurate its controversial Jerusalem embassy later in the day.
The embassy opening is seen as a symbolic gesture denoting U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
