NEWSRAEL: We have been reporting the arming of the PLO and rival militias in southern Lebanon after the last wave of clashes ended. Fighting has broken out again, threatening this time to ignite the rest of Lebanon.
Clashes erupted in the Ain al-Hilweh camp on Thursday evening, where the sounds of gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades were heard in various parts of the city of Sidon.
The camp witnessed heavy displacement towards safer areas.
Sources told LBCI that the clashes erupted hours after a meeting of Palestinian factions held Thursday afternoon to discuss the issue of the withdrawal of factions from UNRWA schools in preparation for the deployment of joint forces and the start of the school year.
However, a security operation, not immediately specified, ignited the clashes between Shabab al-Muslim (Muslim Youth) and the Fatah Movement, with no reported injuries among the latter.
