    BEIRUT, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese soldiers on Saturday continued fierce fighting with Islamist militants inside the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared in northern Lebanon, local Future TV reported.

    The army launched heavy shelling on Fatah al-Islam militants strongholds inside the camp, which set off several fires, said the report.

    An army spokesman was quoted as saying that the soldiers advanced deeper inside the camp and seized several buildings where Fatah al-Islam militants were holed up.

    Meanwhile, fresh Katyusha rockets fired by the militants fell near the Deir Ammar power plant, inflicting more damage on its facilities.

    The Lebanese army have been battling with the militants of Fatah al-Islam in the Nahr al-Bared camp since May 20. The bloodiest internal violence since the Lebanese 1975-1990 civil war has killed more than 200 people.

    The army has refused to halt its military offensive before the militants surrender, but the gunmen have vowed to fight to the death.

    The Lebanese government lists Fatah al-Islam as a terrorist network aimed at destabilizing Lebanon.
