Renewed fighting in Lebanon Palestinian refugee camp kills one
BEIRUT - One man was killed and others injured late on Friday in a Palestinian refugee camp in south Lebanon as a dispute between rival political groups escalated into gunbattles.
Gunfire erupted again in Ain al-Hilweh camp on Saturday morning and continued throughout the day despite efforts to mediate a ceasefire, a Reuters witness said. Rocket-propelled grenades were also being fired.
Two men were shot dead in the camp on Monday amid tension between members of the mainstream Palestinian faction Fatah and a hardline Islamist group.
Fatah member Hussein Othman was killed in Friday's fighting between groups of armed men, Lebanon's National News Agency said.
