| Fears of Palestinian Clashes Spilling into Lebanon |
| 2006-12-19 |
| Lebanese and Palestinian officials are holding intensive talks with leaders of Hamas and Fatah in southern Lebanon, urging them to prevent violence in the West Bank and Gaza from spilling over into the refugee camps, particularly sensitive in the ‘Ein el-Hilweh camp, which accommodates more than 60,000 people. On Saturday, an unknown assailant hurled a noise bomb into a hall in the ‘Ein Al-Hilweh camp where a Hamas gathering was taking place. Officials are appealing to leaders of the factions to help maintain calm in the Palestinian camps. Tension in these camps is already high because of the precarious political situation in Lebanon. |
