    A member of the joint Palestinian security takes position through a hole in a wall with a kalashnikov assault rifle in Ain al-Hilweh camp, Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp, near the southern coastal city of Sidon, on April 12, 2017, after clashes that took place earlier in the week between an extremist group and the security force. Fighting erupted on April 7, 2017 after Palestinian factions deployed throughout the camp as part of a joint security force aimed at combatting the influence of a local Islamic extremist group. Ain al-Hilweh, which houses 61,000 Palestinians, is home to multiple armed factions and has been plagued by intermittent clashes among them as well as against smaller extremist groups.
