At least 7 killed in fresh clashes at Palestinian camp in Lebanon
Lebanon clashes claim lives of 6 in Palestinian refugee camp
At least six people were killed while over a dozen were injured in fresh clashes at the largest Palestinian camp in Lebanon on Wednesday (September 13), according to the Palestinian Red Crescent's Lebanon branch.
Imad Hallak from the Palestinian Red Crescent told news agency AFP that renewed fighting in the Ein al-Hilweh camphad "killed six people and wounded 13". Since the fighting broke out on Thursday last week, at least 15 have been killed.
Ein al-Hilweh, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, located on the outskirts ofthe southern city of Sidon,houses over 63,000 people. It has been the ground zero for clashes, ever since the leader of the Fatah faction and four of his bodyguards were killed by another Palestinian group, identified asJund al-Sham,in July.
Lebanon's powerful Iran-backed Hezbollah group has urged for a halt in the fighting on multiple occasions but to no avail.Fatah's Azzam al-Ahmad and Hamas's Mussa Abu Marzuk also met late Tuesday (September 12) at the Palestinian embassy in Beirut and talked about maintaining a ceasefire but the situation turned pear-shaped quickly on Wednesday.
