Share:

Tens of people were injured Monday in clashes between members of the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and those from a Palestinian fundamentalist group in Al-Akrad neighborhood of Bourj al-Barajneh a southern suburb of Beirut, Future News reported

The TV station identified Al-Ahbash ( also known as Habashis, Jam’iyyat al- Mashari’ al-Khayriyya al-Islamiyya or Association of Islamic Charitable Projects ) as one of the Islamic fundamentalist group that took part in the clashes.

A Lebanese security source told the German Press Agency dpa that the fight broke out near the Palestinian camp of Bourj al-Barajneh, an area controlled by Hezbollah.

Witnesses told dpa that rocket-propelled grenades were being used and heavy gunfire could be heard across the area. They said security forces were unable to access the area.

A similar clash between Hezbollah and the Syrian backed Al-Ahbash took place in August 2010

It was the first such clash between Hezbollah and a Palestinian group in Lebanon. There are an estimated 367,000 Palestinian refugees living in 12 camps across Lebanon.

Update: Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya issued a statement on Monday saying that it did not engage in the clashes with Hezbollah.

The movement also said that it would only use weapons against the Zionist enemy and called on media stations to be more precise in their reporting.

Some TV and radio stations reported on Monday Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya were involved in the clashes with Hezbollah .

      I am thinking, perhaps they will both gather in one area to fight it out and 10 stray MOABs mysteriously find themselves landing on that location. but yeah I guess “let them fight it out” is the next best thing.

    Wow … are we having a little ‘Arab Spring’ in the south now?
      Oh well … ‘Live by the RPG ….’
    Guess they are upset by some ‘spies’ telling people what the noise was.
    Hmmmm … Al-Ahbash, Habashis, Jam’iyyat al- Mashari’ al-Khayriyya al-Islamiyya or Association of Islamic Charitable Projects … take your pick on any given day I guess … part of the secrecy of their charitable works probably.

    after 40 years of syrian regeme support of palestinians cause ,they have turned against the regeme in syria and sided with the protestesrs,simply because they are from sunni,s sect and the regeme is a alawite-shia sect
    as soon as sunni,s take over in syria they will support there sunnis brothers in lebanon , and  weapons that palestinians have in lebanon will be used against hezbollah with new syrian sunni,s governem help,
    hezbollah are calculating the issue and they are planning to attack the palestinian camps to disarm them now , before they become so powerfull soon and attack hezbollah ,when the sunni-shia war breaks out in a few months ahead,by doing so .hezbollah may hit two birds in one stone , they will gain more credit with the lebaneese people that they saving lebanon from armed forigneres who occupuy part of lebnanon (the palestinians) the second issue they will saving themselves from sunnnis palestinians who will attck them soon as syria,s sunnis take controle of syria .
