Ceasefire breaks in Palestinian refugee camp

A conflict broke out again in Ayn al-Halva, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, despite the ceasefire reached yesterday between the parties.

According to the official Lebanese agency NNA, the ceasefire reached last night between the Fatah movement and other Palestinian groups, with the intervention of Lebanese parties, was broken in the morning.

It was noted that in Ayn al-Halva, located in the city of Sayda, in the south of the country, and where about 55,000 refugees reside, militias attacked positions with mortars and fires broke out inside and outside the camp due to clashes. It was reported that the Lebanese army and firefighters intervened in the fire caused by some mortars that hit the center of the city of Sidon.

The number of injured in clashes that took place in the Ayn al-Halva refugee camp since September 7 was reported to have increased from 20 to 35.

13 people were killed and more than 60 injured in clashes that began on July 29 in Ayn al-Halva, Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp. Almost 4,000 people had to leave their homes due to the bloody conflicts. (AA)
