A local Palestinian commander in Lebanon has vowed to crush
a small group of extremists in a refugee camp as clashes intensified for a
second day and at least one person was killed.
Subhi Abu Arab told the state-run National News Agency
Saturday that all factions in the Ein el-Hilweh camp have united against
followers of Bilal Badr, saying the only way to end the fighting is for them to
surrender.
NNA said the fighting led to the closure of a main highway
linking the port city of Sidon with southern Lebanon.
Ein el-Hilweh, the largest of 12 Palestinian refugee camps
in Lebanon, is notoriously lawless and is home to some extremists who
sympathize with the Islamic State group and al-Qaida.
