The Lebanese army's flattening of the Nahr el-Barad refugee camp last year appears to have put people on notice. Feuding radical Islamic groups in Lebanon’s lawless Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp are setting aside their differences — at least for now — for an agreement to bring about a measure of relative calm.

The Christian Science Monitor reports that this agreement might lead to armed gangs with names like Asbat al-Ansar, the Harakat Islamiyya Mujahidda Movement, Jund ash-Sham, and Fatah jointly policing the UNRWA camp.
