Ain al-Hilweh

Three days of fighting in south Lebanon's Ain al-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp have left at least 11 dead and dozens wounded, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said on Monday.

At least six people were killed and seven were wounded in Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp near the southern port city of Sidon, Palestinian officials said.

UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, put the death toll at six, and Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said two children were among those wounded.

Security forces have clashed with Islamic extremists for the third consecutive day in a Palestinian camp in Lebanon.

The toll in two days of clashes rose to five yesterday, medics said, as local factions worked to implement a security plan.

A car bomb exploded on April 12 in Lebanon's southern port city of Sidon, killing at least one person identified as a Palestinian official, a security source said.
 
The source said the blast killed Fathi Zeidan, who headed the Fatah movement in the Miye Miye Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon.
 

Two people were killed when gunmen briefly opened fire in Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp, breaching a tense ceasefire, Palestinian sources said on Aug. 27.
