Fresh Fighting at Miyeh Miyeh Camp after Truce Collapses

Clashes renewed Friday afternoon at the Miyeh Miyeh Palestinian refugee camp after a brief ceasefire.

"The sounds of gunshots and rocket-propelled grenades are being heard after the renewal of clashes," the National News Agency said.

It said the brief truce had been reached after a "broad meeting between delegations from the Fatah and Ansarullah movements at the headquarters of Hizbullah's Political Council."

Cautious calm had prevailed in the morning after deadly clashes a day earlier that left two dead and several others injured, NNA reported.

Intermittent clashes had broken out after midnight amid attempts to reach a ceasefire by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri during a meeting held at night at the AMAL headquarters in Haret Saida.

It was held in the presence of representatives of Fatah and Ansarullah, NNA said.

The clashes killed one of the Palestinian National Security Forces and wounded another four including two Lebanese Army soldiers.
