One person was killed and 7 others wounded in renewed clashes on Saturday afternoon in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh in southern Lebanon between Fatah elements and a group calling itself "Muslim Youth".
The clashes also led to a number of fires in the vicinity of the camp, and civil defence teams worked in coordination and cooperation with the Lebanese army to extinguish them.
Lebanon's official news agency said the death toll had risen to more than 35, in addition to significant material damage since clashes erupted on Thursday.
The development comes after hours of cautious calm in the camp following a ceasefire agreement reached on Friday after Palestinian and Lebanese contacts.
It also follows a meeting held at a Lebanese army barracks in Saida in the presence of representatives of Fatah and Hamas, where all forces in the camp were contacted to stabilize the ceasefire.
At the end of July, the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh witnessed clashes between members of the Fatah movement and members of Islamist groups that lasted for several days, killing 14 people, injuring more than 60, and causing serious damage to property and infrastructure inside the camp.
The Palestinian Joint Action Committee announced on August 22 that it had agreed on follow-up mechanisms that would begin with the extradition of suspects in the assassinations that erupted in the battles of Ain al-Hilweh camp on July 30, but the agreement was not adhered to.
Established in 1948, the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh is the largest in Lebanon, with about 50,70 registered refugees, according to the United Nations, and unofficial estimates put its population at more than <>,<>.
Neither the Lebanese army nor security forces enter the camps under previous tacit agreements, leaving the task of policing them to the Palestinians themselves, while the Lebanese army imposes strict measures around them.
