[JPost] One of those wounded in the clashes is Zaher Jabarin, a member of Armed clashes broke out on Sunday between Hamas and Fatah members in the Burj al-Shemali Palestinian refugee camp in Tyre, Lebanon, Lebanese media reported.
Four were killed and at least four others were wounded, some critically, in the clashes.
They were rushed to Hiram, Jabal Amel and the Italian Lebanese hospitals.
One of those wounded in the clashes is Zaher Jabarin, a member of Hamas' Political Bureau, according to Palestinian media.
The violence broke out during the funeral of Hamas member Hamza Ibrahim Shahine, who died in Friday's explosion at the refugee camp, caused by a fire at a Hamas weapons depot.
The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported an unspecified number of deaths from the explosion, but local media and civil defense workers on scene said there had been no fatalities.
| A funeral strongly suggests someone actually was killed by the explosion… |
| Probably not the dreaded Mossad… |
| A gesture of brotherly solidarity, to be sure. |
The clashes come as tensions between Hamas and Fatah are rising due to the Palestinian municipal elections taking place in the West Bank.
Despite Hamas' boycott of the elections, Hamas-affiliated candidates contested the elections and won seats in several councils, as some Palestinians described the results as a "major defeat" for Fatah.
| Yep. |
| The Times of Israel adds: |
Hamza Shaheen was killed after an alleged Hamas weapons depot, hidden underneath a mosque in the camp, located near the port city of Tyre, exploded on Friday night.
