At least three people including an eight-year-old girl were pronounced dead at daybreak Wednesday following bloody clashes in Sabra camp for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
According to the Lebanese National News Agency deadly clashes burst out between Bilal Akr militias and Abu Mohamed Badran band claiming the lives of Bilal Akr Samir Badran and a girl called Haylana. The casualties were transferred to al-Makasid Hospital. Bilal Akr’s brother sustained serious wounds.
Lebanese army troops cordoned off the vicinity of the camp in an attempt to restore calm in the area.
Several arrest warrants were issued against Bilal Akr on charges of drug trafficking among other criminal acts.
Last week fierce clashes rocked the camp after Bilal Akr militias attempted to hold sway over other areas in the camp.
