Battle erupts in Ein el Hilweh camp as factions clash
Fighting in Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp, Ein el Hilweh near Sidon, pitted Arafat loyalists against dissidents. At least 10 people were killed and 25 wounded as 500 loyalists briefly seized major areas before a ceasefire. Dozens of militants from Islamic Jihad and Hamas joined the clashes with Fatah, heightening fears of civil strife within Palestinian ranks. By nightfall, lines held and sporadic shooting continued.
