Five Lebanese soldiers were killed in the latest bout of heavy fighting against Al Qaeda-inspired militants entrenched in the Nahr el Bared Palestinian refugee camp, the military said.
A Palestinian source inside the camp said at least four Fatah al Islam militants were killed.
At least 125 people, including 53 soldiers and 42 militants, have been killed since the fighting began May 20, making it Lebanon’s worst internal violence since the 1975-1990 civil war.
