Syrian Killed, Several Injured in Brief Clashes at Burj al-Barajneh Refugee Camp
A female Syrian refugee was killed and several were injured in clashes that erupted on Monday between two groups linked to Fatah movement at Burj al-Barajneh refugee camp in Beirut's southern suburbs.
The state-run National News Agency reported that the clashes broke out after the supporters of Mohammed Ghdeiyeh set on fire a motorcycle that belongs to Hekmat Akar, the leader of the second group.
Several were injured among them the brother of Akar.
NNA said that machinguns and rocket-propelled grenades were used in the battle.
Unknown assailants had also opened fire at an ambulance moving a wounded person from Akar family to Haifa hospital at the camp.
His family reportedly banned the ambulance from moving him to a hospital outside the camp as he is wanted on several arrest warrants.
The news agency said that the supporters of the two factions are on alert at the camp.
