Fighting in North Continues
Death Toll on the Rise
The heavy clashes between the Lebanese troops and the militants based in the Nahr el-Bared Palestinian refugee camp continued Monday a day after bloody clashes left at least 50 people dead. The troops exchanged artillery and machinegun fire with the extremists, entrenched in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr Al-Bared near the Lebanese northern coastal city of Tripoli.
According to Palestinian sources inside the camp, at least eight civilians were killed and 20 wounded in the shelling.
They said the toll was certain to rise as some areas of the camp, home for some 40,000 refugees, could not be reached by rescue workers.
Al-Manar's correspondent in the north reported that the members of militant group Fatah al-Islam are opening fire on the International road, while the Lebanese army continues to shoot the headquarter of this group in the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp. The area had witnessed a relatively calm night after day-long gunbattles between the soldiers and the Fatah al-Islam group which is accused of links to the Al-Qaeda network.
