Islamist factions in Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp said Sunday they will abide by a ceasefire after three days of clashes killed at least five people and left hundreds of families displaced.
Fighting between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and Islamist groups has rocked southern Lebanon's Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp since Friday. Fatah and other factions in the camp had intended to crack down on suspects accused of killing one of their military generals in late July.
"The army command repeats its warning to the concerned parties in the camp about the consequences of exposing military members and positions to danger, and affirms that the army will take appropriate measures in response," the statement said. The clashing factions in the camp said in a statement published Sunday by Lebanon's state-run National News Agency that they planned to abide by a ceasefire.
Among the wounded was Sabine Al-Ahmad, 16, who fled the camp with her family. She was being treated for shrapnel wounds. "We were running away and a shell exploded over us," she told the AP.
