Fierce Clashes between Hizbullah, Palestinian Elements near Borj al-Barajneh

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Fierce machinegun clashes between a Lebanese group and a Palestinian group are still ongoing since 7:00 pm in the “Kurds neighborhood” on the outskirts of the Beirut southern suburb of Borj al-Barajneh, state-run National News Agency reported.

“Security forces have not been able to reach the place due to the intensity of the clashes,” NNA added.

Meanwhile, security sources told MTV that “10 Hizbullah members were wounded in a clash with a Salafist group near Borj al-Barajneh.”

Future News television, for its part, said clashes erupted between “Hizbullah members and Palestinian elements in Borj al-Barajneh.”

Later on Monday, around 8:25 pm, Al-Jadeed television said that the clashes were contained and that a meeting between Hizbullah officials and representatives of the Palestinian factions in the Borj al-Barajneh refugee camp was underway.

In an interview with Al-Jadeed, Fatah Movement’s secretary in the Borj al-Barajneh camp said “no clash erupted between Palestinians from the Borj al-Barajneh camp and the brothers in Hizbullah; it was rather a personal dispute that escalated after unknown assailants tossed a hand grenade.”

Voice of Lebanon Radio (100.5) reported that “ten Hizbullah members were wounded in fierce machinegun clashes between a Hizbullah group and another comprising Lebanese Salafists in the ‘Kurds neighborhood’ on the outskirts of the Borj al-Barajneh camp.”

“The wounded were rushed to (Hizbullah-affiliated) Greatest Prophet Hospital amid extreme secrecy concerning the names,” VOL reported.

“The clash started after a hand grenade was tossed on the street and followed by gunfire,” VOL added, noting that “security forces are trying to unveil the circumstances” of the incident.

Here we are again, the sacred arms of the Lebanese Islamic Resistance and that of the Palestinian Resistance supposedly both fighting Israel, in reality fighting each other over influence, and when they are not, they user the arms to change government and influence democracy.......

when will Hizballah be accountable to the Lebanese people through democratic election?
When will the Lebanese stand up in one voice "enough is enough".. no arms should be outside the government control, no thugs to militias!!

...but how else are they going to demonstrated that the divine Iranian arms protect the Christians from Palestinian Syrian arms. I didn't think their be so obvious and dumb as to demonstrate it so close after Patriarch Raii's comments, but they are.
Wouldn't be funny if Hassan comes out of his Ratcave® and declares Borj al-Barajneh a red line zone.

To the Zionist thugs commenting... Do not reassure yourselves..Over 99% of the weapons are pointed at you. HA is the ONLY armed group that used most of its firepower against Israel and not against fellow Lebanese.

a desperate and convenient incident for syria and hezbollah that attempts to shift syrias unrest into lebanon and spark fear for all those who do not support these present evil powers.

Those who criticize the Lebanese Resistance and do not denounce the Israeli enemy are nothing but Zionists or traitors. Your voices are worthless in Lebanon (i did not see the same comments made when Christians were killing each other in Koura and Bshari not too long ago). Idiots..

And where is the state in this? where is the ISF, the LAF? Hezbollah which has arms outside of the authority and the Palestinians with arms outside of the authorty engaging in military clashes in complete derrogation to the institutions of the state. And Hezbollah claims to be subservient to the institutions of the government?? Such a cruel stupid joke. They should be stripped of all credibility.

The fuse of Salafists and Hezbollah -- Sunni v. Shia would mean nothing if there were not dynamite at the ends of the fuses. But these are heavily armed camps on Lebanese soil. The solution is not for the Salafists to overcome Hezbollah or vice versa, but for all to submit to the authority of the state. Without the state, Lebanon's decline into this sort of thing on a regular basis is inevitable. Hezbollah's suppression of the state makes this inevitable. Its philosophy of confrontation rather than consensus is the tumor that has grown inside of Lebanon's body politic.

Lebanese Security Forces CANNOT reach the area due to the heavy fighting?
similar to the Gas Canister bomb? similar to the illegal buildings of the Airport road? similar to the incidents of bill/electricity collectors? For the moron who mentioned fighting in Koura and Beshari, those incidents were committed with a HANDGUN by the Syrian backed midgets.
No guns, no arms, no fireworks except for the Leb Army period, when this happens then you will have a state.

The Hezz are being shot by the people who they claim to want to liberate. Even the Palestinians are rejecting the Hezz. Is Nassy going to celebrate Quds day next year? Since when the Hezz get attacked and they don't shoot back. Their world is collapsing and they don't know what to do.

To Lebanese Resistance, that is a lie, Hizballah like every other militia during the war, fought with other militias, they killed many communist militants, and the fought with Amal. So not, them like any other militia they are not that sacred.

The events of 7 May 2008 are a very recent reminder of what hizballa can do with their arms... for example trashing Future TV, and clashing with Socialist Party in jabal... I'm not sure that had anything to do with fighting israel.

as Lebanese we only have faith in a government, which, with all it's problems, we know we can elect or not the following election. Hizballah.. only the Iranian regime decide what happens with it.

I see that the word "zionist" is being used haphazardly by uneducated people who do not seem to know what zionism is. So the next paragraph is provided for educational purposes:

A Zionist is someone who advocates the right of Jewish people to live in a sovereign Jewish state. It is somewhat comparable to someone who advocates the right of muslims to live in an Islamic republic. This being said, Lebanese people who are opposed to Hezbollah are not Zionists because they generally don't give a rat's a** about the right of Jewish people to live in a Jewish state. They just care about their own country. So please find a different epithet to avoid sounding like an imbecile.

What a farce this resistance is.......! All their illegal weapons are pointed internally against fellow Lebanese. This is not the first incident and I am sure it won't be the last. Yes, they are a Malignant Tumor that needs to be surgically removed piece by piece, saint by saint, thug by thug, thief by thief, man by man, drug dealer by drug dealer. The day is coming..... and all their weapons, animosity, spite, and hate will come to an end.

The comments here are so biased, is there anyone that speaks with reason anymore from Lebanon?
Whenever I go to Lebanon I get the same experience, each party venerates their own. When they should speak the truth. Thank God I'm not associated with any party.
The Israelites rejected men of God because they spoke only the truth, the same here it is today.
America (Saudi and Israel inc.) and Iran (Syria inc.) are the sources of our problems, the moment we see this we will have a united Lebanon.
We need to be more respectful with our comments no ad hominems, just say what we need to say without the abuse.

@Abdullah
We are talking about extremists, fanatics, with weapons, fighting each other.
We are talking about the worst in humanity!
If they could exterminate each other, the world would be a better place, and maybe in a world without extremists (of any kind of religion) peace could prevail...at last...

إشتباك الضاحية الجنوبية
رواية مغايرة من مخيم برج البراجنة

لم يعد بإمكاننا السكوت، ولسنا مكسر عصا، ولسنا وقوداً لأحد، ولسنا بلا كرامة، ولسنا طائفيين، ونحب المقاومة، ونحترم الدماء والتضحيات، لكن ليعلم الآخرون حدودهم فلا يعتدوا على حرماتنا، لسنا ضعفاء بل أقوياء وأقوى رجال.

بهذه الكلمات الواضحة لخّص لنا شباب من مخيم برج البراجنة شعورهم حيال ما جرى من اشتباكات تسبب بها أفراد أمنيون من حزب الله كانوا في مهمة أمنية رسمية على تخوم المدخل الشرقي للمخيم المحاذي لما يعرف بحي الروضة المعروف بحي الأكراد.

وعند السؤال عن المجموعة السلفية التي تعرضت لدورية حزب الله؛ أكدوا لنا ونفوا نفياً قاطعاً أن يكون الاشتباك مع سلفيين أو مجموعة مترابطة ومنظمة. ويضيف أحدهم متهكماً: عملونا سلفيين، وقاعدة، وإخوان مسلمين، وإرهابيين، وعملاء لإسرائيل!

الرواية الفلسطينية غير الرسمية

نحن لم نبدأ استعمال السلاح، ولم نرم القنابل، ومعظم ما نقل في وسائل الإعلام من نسج الخيال وغير دقيق ومفبرك... المسؤول الأمني هو من فتح القنبلة ورماها باتجاه شباب المخيم، ولكن الله رد كيده في نحره، فاصطدمت القنبلة بأسلاك الكهرباء، وعادت عل
