At least eight people have reportedly been killed and 75 wounded after fighting broke out in the Lebanese city of Tripoli between groups with opposing views of the conflict in Syria. Violence erupted Monday night between Sunnis in Tripoli who oppose the Syrian regime and Alawites loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Meanwhile, activists in Syria say government troops backed by tanks have attacked a Damascus neighborhood, killing at least 11 suspected rebels. And footage filmed by Japanese journalist Mika Yamamoto in the hours leading up to her death in Syria has been released. Gunfire can be heard in what is believed to be the last image captured by Yamamoto before she was shot and fatally wounded in Aleppo.
