லெபனான் நாடு பாலஸ்தீனர்களுக்கு என்று ஒரு இடத்தை ஒதுக்கி அகதிமுகாமாக வைத்திருந்தது. அங்கு பால்ஸ்தீனர்களுக்கு இடையே படா அல் இஸ்லாம் என்ற அல்குவேதா தீவிரவாத குழு வளர்ந்து லெபனான் அரசாங்கத்தை தாக்க துவங்கியது. லெபனான் ராணுவத்துக்கும் இந்த படா அல் இஸ்லாமுக்கும் இடையே பாலஸ்தீன மக்கள் துயரம் அடைந்து அங்கிருந்து வெளியேறி வருகின்றனர்.

1975 உள்நாட்டு போருக்கு பின்னர் மிகப்பெரிய இழப்பு இப்போதுதான். சுமார் 150 பேர் கொல்லப்பட்டிருக்கின்றனர்.

Tripoli - The Lebanese army is army expected to finish off the terrorists of Fatah al Islam at the Nahr el Bared Palestinian refugee camp within the next 48 hours according to the Lebanese National News Agency.


The Army has already taken over the Al Quds Mosque positions of Fatah al Islam and raised the Lebanese flag over it .

The army has also taken over the al Samed position which was the headquarters of the Fatah Al Islam operation in Nahr el Bared refugee camp

Fatah al-Islam appear to be in total confusion according to eyewitnesses

Witnesses also said the army advanced near the northeastern entrance of the Nahr al-Bared camp on Sunday and was trying to control a school complex on the camp's coastal side but was facing resistance by the Fatah al-Islam militants.

Heavy overnight clashes had erupted between the army and militants and intermittent shelling flared especially on the northern and eastern sides of the Nahr al-Bared camp.

"Army units are continuing to exert their control ... and are cleansing buildings from booby-traps and tightening their grip (on the camp) until this abnormal phenomenon is terminated," a military source said.

The army has fought on the camp's outskirts but is banned from going into Lebanon's 12 Palestinian refugee camps under a 1969 Arab agreement.

The fighting is Lebanon's worst internal violence since the 1975-1990 civil war, killing at least 150 people, including 68 soldiers, more than 50 militants and 32 civilians, and has forced thousands of refugees to flee Nahr al-Bared, mostly to the nearby Beddawi camp.

Lebanese authorities have called for the militants to surrender and lay down their arms, demands they have repeatedly rejected.

Fatah al-Islam emerged late last year after its leader, Shaker al-Absi, and some 200 fighters split from the pro-Syrian Palestinian faction Fatah al-Intifada (Uprising).

Members of Lebanon's Western-backed government link Fatah al-Islam to Syrian intelligence, although both the group and Damascus deny any links.

Fatah al-Islam's stated goals are to spread its vision of Sunni Islam among Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and to fight Israel and the United States. The group has little support within the Palestinian community.

Palestinian Fatah mainstream group which is headed byPalestinian president Mahmoud Abbas declared that there is absolutely no relationship between Fatah and Fatah al Islam. Lebanon's PM Fouad Siniora calls Fatah al Islam - "a terrorist gang that has nothing to do with the Palestinians nor with Islam "
