Taken from Lebanese Liberation about this incident:

The Daily Star - "The army laid siege to the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp near Sidon on Friday and issued an ultimatum for the handover of a Lebanese man suspected of shooting three soldiers to death the night before. On Friday evening, the army closed the main entrance to the camp, preventing pedestrians and vehicles from entering or leaving, after closing the western entrance earlier in the day ... The army asked various Palestinian factions in the Ain al-Hilweh to arrest and hand over Hamadeh, believed to have taken shelter in the camp."

So lets get this straight. A murderous scumbag kills 3 Lebanese soldiers. The Lebanese military surrounds the Palestinian camp where the scumbag is hiding ... and then, they kindly ask the Palestinian terrorist groups inside to hand him over???? What has this country come to? Our military should have the right to go into these Palestinian camps and clean them of their criminal and terrorist elements. But no ... instead, all they can do is surround the camp and kindly ask the terrorists inside to hand over the criminal. What a shame. I really feel sick to my stomach and hope that maybe one day our puppet-government will grow enough courage to exert their control over these camps. To make matters even worse, our puppet-president has claimed that the murders of our 3 soldiers were committed by Israel. What manner of ... excuse me, I must go vomit now. What a shame our country has turned into. It feels like the Twilight zone.

Remember Syria controls Lebanon. And since Syria also funds international terrorism...
