Clashes continued for a third day in a Palestinian camp in Lebanon between members of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah group and Islamist factions there.


A Lebanese army spokesperson said the death toll from the fighting in Ein el-Hilweh camp had reached nine, although some reports have given higher figures. Two soldiers stationed outside the camp were also injured.


Despite attempts by Lebanese parties and some of the Palestinian factions to broker a cease-fire, “the shooting and shelling have not stopped in the camp,” said Adnan Rifai, a member of the popular committee that serves as a governing body in the camp.
