Calm has returned to Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. Violent clashes between Fatah and Islamist militants from the Bilal Badr group broke out Feb. 23 and then climaxed Feb. 28, resulting in the death of a young man and the wounding of four others, including a child.
The clashes are not new to Ain al-Hilweh, which is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, in population and in size, accommodating more than 120,000 residents, among them 54,116 refugees registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
