So the Web gives me this on the camp siege:
"Lebanese army still battling Islamists at refugee camp"
The Lebanese army on Sunday pushed forth with its offensive against Islamists besieged in a refugee camp in the north of the country as the battle entered its 12th week.
"The fighting is still going on but with varying intensity," a military spokesman told AFP.
More than 200 people, including 133 soldiers, have been killed in the standoff at the camp between the army and Fatah al-Islam militants.
The spokesman said at least one soldier had died in recent days of his wounds and three had been killed in the past two days on the battlefront.
Medical sources meanwhile said that one Lebanese civilian wounded at the weekend by a stray bullet fired from the camp died on Sunday and that another civilian was wounded. Both victims were from the nearby village of Bebnin.
Most of the camp's 31,000 residents have fled since the fighting began, but about 60 women and children related to the Fatah al-Islam fighters remain inside Nahr al-Bared.
The army has accused the Islamists of using them as human shields, but other sources have said they stayed there willingly."
