A fierce gunbattle in Lebanon fought on the streets of the predominantly Sunni city of Tripoli and in a Palestinian refugee camp close by left at least 22 soldiers and 17 Islamic militants dead on Sunday.
Dozens more were wounded.
It was the worst violence Lebanon's second largest city had witnessed in two decades.
The clashes between troops surrounding the Nahr el-Bared camp and fighters from the militant Fatah Islam began early in the morning shortly after police raided a militant-occupied apartment and a gunbattle erupted, witnesses said.
Ten militants were killed in the building in Tripoli and seven in the refugee camp, security officials said.
Abu Salim, a spokesman for Fatah Islam, only confirmed two militants died and five were wounded inside the camp as a result of the shelling.
Several bodies could be seen lying among the debris of rubble, broken glass and burned out cars as Lebanese forces overpowered the occupants.
A senior security official later said a high-ranking member of Fatah Islam, known as Abu Yazan, was among those killed.
The group is considered by some Lebanese officials to be a radical Sunni Muslim group with ties to al-Qaida, or at least al-Qaida style militancy and doctrine.
Some anti-Syrian government officials claim the group is a front for Syrian military intelligence aimed at destabilising Lebanon although both Syria and the group deny any links to each other.
Several observers on Sunday were openly hostile, with many heard to applaud as the army began pounding shells at the Nahr el-Bared Palestinian refugee camp where the militant group has headquarters.
The camp is also home to tens of thousands of Palestinians who took refuge there to escape the fighting in Israel.
Residents in the camp reported at least 12 civilians killed or wounded.
The figure could not be confirmed: Lebanese authorities have no presence there.
The fighting threatens to further destabilise a conflict-ridden Lebanon that is facing its worst political fall out between the Western-backed government and pro-Syrian opposition since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
Tripoli has not seen violence on this scale since 1986, when Syrian troops, who were then in control, fought a rebellion in the city.
Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said the fighting was a dangerous attempt at hitting Lebanese security and called on the Lebanese to rally behind the government.
Saad Hariri, head of Lebanon's largest Sunni political faction and leader of the country's parliamentary majority, urged supporters to cooperate with authorities.
Hariri, who met for talks with Prime Minister Fouad Saniora in Beirut, told reporters afterwards that the violence may have been linked to efforts to set up an international tribunal that would try the killers of his father, former Premier Rafik Hariri.
Hariri was assassinated in February 2005.
"This is a blow to Lebanese security. The International Tribunal is coming. Nobody will stop it," Hariri said.
Military presence remained strong in and around Tripoli after nightfall on Sunday.
