Palestinian factions: We are adamant on the camps' security
The Palestinian factions in Lebanon said on Tuesday that they are adamant on security and stability of the various Palestinian camps across the country.

Following a meeting aimed to discuss the repercussions of the dispute that erupted Monday at Sidon's Mieh Mieh camp, the factions stressed that they are committed to the Palestinian initiative that was launched at the Ain El-Helwe refugee camp.

The Palestinian factions also urged the Lebanese government to "back the steadfastness of the Palestinian people by granting them their humanitarian and social rights until their return to Palestine".

At least eight people were killed in fighting on Monday between Palestinian factions in a refugee camp near Lebanon's southern city of Sidon, Lebanese and Palestinian medical sources said.

Local sources said the clashes broke out between fighters from the Brigades of Return, a group originally linked to Palestinian President Mohammad Abbas's Fatah group, and a rival militant organization.

The leader of the Brigades of Return, Ahmed Rasheed, and two of his brothers were killed in the clashes in the Mieh Mieh camp, the sources said.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the fighting, in which at least 10 people were wounded.

Fatah and a range of Islamist factions compete for influence in Mieh Mieh and the nearby Ain al-Hilweh, two of the 12 Palestinian camps in Lebanon that are home to more than 200,000 registered refugees.
