A fire swept through seven tents in a Syrian refugee camp in the southern city of Tyre, causing only material damage, the state-run National News Agency reported on Sunday.

According to the news agency, Civil Defense teams controlled the blaze and prevented it from reaching other tents.

Tammam Salam, who on Saturday became Lebanon's new prime minister at the head of a compromise government, is a moderate politician from a family with a long political history.

Salam is a son of Saeb Salam -- who himself held the job six times between 1952 and 1973 -- and a woman hailing from Damascus.

The protocol photo marking the formation of the country’s new cabinet has apparently been photoshopped to include Speaker Nabih Berri.

Al-Manar television said on Saturday night that as Interior Minister Nouhad Mashnouq and Social Affairs Minister Rashid Derbas, who were both nominated by al-Mustaqbal party, were late to the photo session, the official photo was taken without them.

Former General Security chief Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed announced on Saturday that he will be “cutting his ties” with the March 8 camp, following the appointment of the former Internal Security Forces chief as the new Justice Minister.

"I announce cutting communication ties with the March 8 camp,” Sayyed said in a released statement.

Two of the three women that were arrested for transporting a booby-trapped car on the Arsal-al-Labweh road were acquitted on Saturday afternoon, the state-run National News Agency reported.

"State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered the release of Hala Rayed and Khadijeh Audeh for not having any links with the incident,” the NNA said.

French President Francois Hollande welcomed on Saturday the formation of a new cabinet in Lebanon, urging the international community to support it.

“Today Lebanon has a new cabinet with full powers to face the challenges awaiting the country,” Hollande said in a released statement.

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun considered on Saturday that the new cabinet is a “key for restoring relations” between different factions in the country.

"This week we have witnessed two major events in the country,” Aoun said following the announcement of the new cabinet.

The Phalange Party is considered the biggest winner in new cabinet announced on Saturday, taking into consideration the modest number of representatives it has at the Lebanese parliament.

With only five deputies at the parliament, the party was able to secure three ministries in Prime Minister Tammam Salam's cabinet. Meanwhile, al-Mustaqbal bloc, which has 37 deputies, got four ministries, similarly to the 27-member Change and Reform bloc.

A political standoff is expected to arise in the cabinet between newly appointed ministers Jebran Bassil and Butros Harb, who both hail from the northern city of Batroun.

The dispute is likely to tackle Bassil's activities in the Ministry of Telecommunications since he took office in 2011, and the services he might have offered to the people of his hometown.

Baabda Palace assured on Saturday that newly appointed Minister of Social Affairs Rashid Derbas is considered a member of the centrist camp, along with Youth and Sports Minister Abdul Motleb al-Hennawi, deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Samir Moqbel and Displaced Minister Alice Chabtini.

The presidency's confirmation to Naharnet comes after reports said al-Mustaqbal Party had nominated Derbas as a Minister of Interior at one stage during the cabinet's formation process, hence, questioning his links with the March 14 camp.
