Woman killed amid clashes in Lebanese refugee camp

Clashes between a Sunni fundamentalist group and the Palestinian Fatah faction kill at least two in a Lebanon-based Palestinian refugee camp.

Four others were also wounded in the Monday exchange of fire between Fatah and Osbat al-Ansar near the southern city of Sidon, Reuters quoted security sources as saying.

One of the dead was identified by an army spokesman as a Fatah officer, the AFP reported. Another dead victim was reported to be a female shop owner.

Witnesses said rocket-propelled grenades were used in the gunfight which sent ambulances rushing to the scene.

The over-crowded Palestinian camps house some 400,000 refugees, displaced by the Israeli occupation of their land that began in 1948.

The report added that earlier witness accounts had identified the group that clashed with Fatah as Jund el-Sham. The latter was established in 2004 after breaking away from Osbat al-Ansar, which itself was forged in the early 1990s.
