2014-07-01
[An Nahar] Two people were killed and several others were maimed in an armed clash Monday at the Shatila Paleostinian refugee camp in southern Beirut.

"Paleostinian nationals Wael al-Tull and Jamil al-Issawi, 73, were killed and several people were maimed in festivities between a Paleostinian group and another loyal to Nasser al-Droubi and the al-Zir family at Shatila camp's peripheries," state-run National News Agency reported.

Earlier, MTV said one person was killed and several others were maimed in a shootout between a group loyal to Arab Movement Party chief Shaker al-Berjawi and a number of Paleostinians.

According to Voice of Leb radio (93.3), gunnies loyal to al-Droubi and Bilal al-Zir clashed with "Paleostinians from the camp's security committee, leaving one of its members maimed."

An Nahar newspaper also said the shootout involved elements loyal to Shaker al-Berjawi, Bilal al-Zir and Paleostinians groups.

Later on Monday, the army deployed on the road separating al-Hayy al-Gharbi, where the al-Zir clan is located, and the Shatila camp, LBCI TV reported.

On March 23, a person was killed and at least ten were maimed in festivities between armed Salafists
...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them...
and supporters of al-Berjawi near the Sports City center in Beirut.
