One person was killed and several others were injured in clashes between the rival Tripoli neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen on Tuesday, raising the death toll to seven after five days of clashes.

The fighting renewed in the evening, with al-Jadeed TV reporting that "RPG explosions and machinegun fire are being heard in Tripoli."

Omar Alloush, who was among 3 civilians injured from sniper fire in Tripoli's Syria Street, has died, Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) reported.

Two more soldiers were wounded, it said.

Alloush's death raised the death toll in the latest round of fighting to seven.

LBCI television identified the dead as Abir Kayyal, Zaher Ghimrawi, Jihad Halawani, Mohammed Dandan, Fawwaz Ibrahim, Mahmoud Yashouti and Omar Alloush.

On Tuesday morning, a hand grenade was tossed at an armored personnel carrier in Bab al-Tabbaneh neighborhood.

The clashes between the rival Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen districts erupted last Friday when a Jabal Mohsen man was shot dead in nearby al-Qobbeh.

Either the army takes a serious role in disarming both sides or gets out and lets the battle go and lets them sort it out for them selves
