The Ain-al-Hilweh home of a Fatah public relations official, Lieutenant Zeid Othman, was the target of a bomb attack Sunday.
On Saturday, another bomb shook the home of Humayed Khatib. The bombs caused only slight damage.
A few months ago, Khatib’s brother, Shukri, was killed in mysterious circumstances.
The situation in the camp has also been aggravated by a clash between a group calling itself the Esbat al-Ansar group and the Fatah Movement, loyal to Palestinian President Yasser Arafat.
A meeting among all the camp’s factions is expected to take place soon to discuss the deteriorating security situation.
