BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Two Palestinians were killed and four were injured from Thursday night until Friday in Lebanon’s Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp after a personal dispute erupted into clashes between the Fatah movement and an Islamic militant group, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).

NNA reported that the security situation in the camp had deteriorated on Thursday night after a dispute broke out between individuals of the Fatah movement and Jund al-Sham, an Islamic militant group.

A ceasefire was brokered between the groups. However, it was short-lived when an explosion erupted in the camp and injured a local woman.

NNA reported that “heavy shooting” resumed between the groups, leading to the death of Muhammad al-Jandawi, a member of the Palestinian national security forces.

According to NNA, the sound of live bullets, missiles, machine guns, and grenades could be heard in the camp until dawn hours.

On Friday, another Palestinian was injured as clashes continued into the day, NNA reported. Shops and vegetable markets in the area were closed in fear of ongoing clashes. According to NNA, mediators have attempted to make contacts with both sides to restore a ceasefire in the camp.

Lebanese authorities have intercepted telephone conversations between the leaders of militants who captured Arsal, a town in northeastern Lebanon, over the weekend and inmates at Roumieh prison, security officials said.

The officials, who were not identified, told As Safir daily published on Thursday that the phone calls also involved some Islamists in the northern city of Tripoli and the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon.

Ain el-Hilweh is known to harbor extremists while many Islamists are held imprisoned in Roumieh.

The officials identified two suspects with their initials as R.M. and A.M., saying they ran some operations in Arsal and Tripoli.

The expectation of a baby brings excitement and joy, but for refugees living in Lebanon, the birth of a newborn is cause for anxiety, stress and despair. Six decades after the first waves of refugees crossed the border into Lebanon, a quarter of a million Palestinians still remain in dilapidated, overcrowded camps with no right to work, education or health care.

Tensions are escalating in Ain al-Hilweh, Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp. In the past, people feared a clash between the #Fatah Movement and Islamist groups, but today they are more concerned about a possible confrontation between Islamists themselves. Such tensions may threaten the Palestinian initiative to isolate the refugee camps from ongoing internal and regional conflicts and undermine the memorandum of understanding signed between different Islamist factions that have come together under the group known as the (...)

Al-Nusra Front : Seeking a Lebanese Base in Ain al-Hilweh
▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/al-nusra-front-seeking-lebanese-base-ain-al-helweh

The presence of the notorious al-Nusra Front is no longer exclusive to Syria. In the southern Lebanese city of Saida, a group of Islamist factions based out of the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp are unifying in the hope of forming a Lebanese version of the Front.

[…]

Once announced, this new unified front will be an extension of al-Nusra in Syria. Lebanese territories will become “the land of salvation” for its “jihadis” who will be trained in Ain al-Hilweh to fight in Syria. Of course, the front will not be limited to Ain al-Hilweh. Other sources indicate that there is interest in creating another branch in the Burj al-Barajneh Palestinian camp in Dahiyeh, or Beirut’s southern suburbs. Palestinian sources indicate that the reason for the Burj al-Barajneh headquarters is its proximity to the airport road.
