Ain el Helweh camp: At least two Lebanese soldiers were killed last night by islamists in Saida. Have no clue if it is quiet now in Saida, but will go there shortly and report later on the situation there.
Nahr el Bared camp: Lebanese army offensive is over for now. Fatah al Islam islamists have been surrounded in a 800 by 800 meters era, the result of an offensive started by the Lebanese army on Friday and Saturday. 'Regular' shelling and sniping is continuing while Lebanese army prepares for a second big push, which might happen in a couple of days.
