Palestinian Fatah movement said on Wednesday that four of its members were killed in recent clashes with extremists in Ain Hilweh refugee camp in Sidon of Lebanon.

The slain were mourned by Sobhy Abu Arab, the Palestinian national security commander in Lebanon, who blamed "gangs that reject national consensus" for their killing.

"Those elements are linked to foreign agenda that aim to destabilize our camps," he said.

The clashes involved members of Fatah movement and extremists of Jundul Sham and Qaeda groups over the recent few days.

Cautious calm is currently prevailing in the camp, which is the largest camp for Palestinians in Lebanon.
