Lebanese Shell "Palestinian Camp"

There are over 60 estimated fatalities in the clash between the Lebanese army and Fatah Al-Islam. This includes more than 20 soldiers, approximately 25 terrorists plus uncounted non-combatants in Nahr Al-Bard, Tripoli and Beirut.

Fatah Al-Islam is a terrorist group in Lebanon that is backed by Syria/Iran and a major element of Syria/Iran's strategy to take over Lebanon.

The group has been skirmishing with the Lebanese army recently and yesterday, the Lebanese army shelled Nahr Al-Bard, the center of the group's operations. The town is designated as a "Palestinian refugee camp" by Lebanon.

The fighting began in Tripoli when soldiers pursuing bank robbers accidentally raided a terrorist office and wound up fighting with Fatah Al-Islam forces.

The Lebanese government is deciding now whether it will send troops into Nahr Al-Bard.
