Two Lebanese soldiers were killed in fighting with terrorists in the Arab refugee town of Naher al-Bared on Tuesday.

A third soldier died of wounds sustained in earlier clashes.

Fighting has been ongoing between the Lebanese army and terrorists from the Fatah al-Islam group for more than a month. The terrorists use the 59-year-old status granted to the town as a “Palestinian refugee camp” to establish armed groups, which have held the Lebanese army at bay.
