Lebanon Warns Army May Intervene if Palestinian Faction Clashes Continue

Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has threatened to send in the Lebanese army to the country’s largest Palestinian refugee camp, where fighting in recent days has killed more than a dozen people, wounded many more and displaced thousands.
In a phone call, Mikati urged the President of the Palestinian Authority (PA) Mahmoud Abbas to ensure hostilities between Palestinian factions at the Ein el-Hilweh camp cease.

Mikati called the clashes a “flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty” and said that it was unacceptable for the groups to “terrorize the Lebanese, especially the people of the south who have embraced the Palestinians for many years”, according to a statement released by his office.
