the fighting quickly spread [to include]
I think "degenerado" is misused in Spanish. Logically speaking, if the fighting degenerated, there would be less fighting, not more.

Thank you, Tomasso! I see what you mean, but maybe that's secondary to the main idea.

: My question (in Discussion) about what follows 'degenerado rápidamente' aside, 'the fighting quickly spread' sounds good to me. :-)

Another option. Or, fighting swiftly erupted.

Maybe the follwoing...First limited to clashes between the Lebanese Forces (Christian and unified militias), sheltered in the Christian neighborhoods of eastern Sidon, (skirmishes between christian Lebanes Forces )) and the regular (oficial Lebanese) army, the fighting rapidly went back, became worse, with the participation alongside the armed forces, Muslim militias and fedayeen of the Palestinian resistance. .When Muslim militias and Fedayeen became fighters alongside the Regulal Lebanese Army.
Maybe look at Wiki... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_Forces.
LA frase los combates han degenerado rápidamente **** the skirmishs quickly became worse ****
