Clashes inside the camp on Saturday killed "two people from Fatah" and an Islamist, while "a civilian was killed by a stray bullet" outside the camp, Leb ![]() 's official National News Agency (NNA) said, reporting dozens of others maimed.

Mikati emphasized "the priority of ending military operations and cooperating with Lebanese security forces to address tensions," according to the statement on X, formerly Twitter.
