BEIRUT (Reuters) - Four Lebanese army soldiers were killed when militants attacked their patrol in northern Lebanon on Sunday, security sources said.
The sources said the gunmen were members of a militant group which the army had been fighting since the early hours of the morning at a Palestinian refugee camp near the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.
At least three more soldiers were killed in clashes at the camp with the Fatah al-Islam group, security sources said.
Update 1 :
The number rose to seven almost an hour ago.

Let the Leb army enter the camp and kick these terrorist asses.
Enough is enough.
Hundreds were killed last summer for the sake of Samir Quntar, I guess it is more worth to fight these militias who are killing the lebanese, we should strike them even if we are to risk the lives of the leb soldiers.
This is war against Lebanon, we need to stand up still and show how courage we are and ready to defend our country.
Syria and its allies will always try to distabilize the security in Lebanon and want Lebanon as a punching bag, but we are here to stay and say NO to such acts.
Sawfa nassouddoukom min jadid !
