Heavy clashes in Palestinian camp in south Lebanon

Heavy clashes erupted late Friday between a Sunni
fundamentalist group and fighters of the mainstream Fatah faction in
a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, prompting civilians
to flee the area, according to Deutsche Presse Agentur dpa.
The rival fighters exchanged rocket fire in the main street of the
densely populated Ain al-Hilweh camp outside the southern city of
Sidon, a security official told DPA.
The clashes started as skirmishes in the morning after militants
of Jund al-Sham (Soldiers of Damascus) were angered after Fatah's
seized a commander of the group and handed him over to the Lebanese
Army.
There was no immediate word on any casualties from Friday's
clashes.
