Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Innocent bystander titzup in Ein el-Hellhole
2006-10-15
A Lebanese man was killed Saturday by a stray bullet at the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in south Lebanon, security officials said. A scuffle between rival factions in the camp - the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Jund al-Sham, an Islamic group backed by Syria - escalated into a shootout, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak to the media. Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a 25-year-old Lebanese man with no ties to either group, was severely wounded by a stray bullet, they said. He died later at a hospital, they added.

#1  Yet, despite the probably large number of shot fired, none of the intended targets were harmed. This reminds me of the description of US gangs shootouts I've read, were shots are wildly fired, but only bystanders are hurt (there was notably an excellent documentary called "the shootout of Mole street", with the shootout which started the investigation described as drug dealers shooting blindly behind them while running away, hiding behind a grandmother, and the only casualty a young teen struck in the head by a stray).
