(KUNA) -- The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of Fatah, refuted statements by Interior Minister Abdul Razzaq Al-Yahya that the brigades are dissolved. The brigades said they are still determined not to step back an inch as they counter the Israeli forces' violations against the rights of defenseless Palestinians. The concerned statement also cautioned of grave consequences should group operatives or elements be attacked, and condemned meaningless and futile meetings with the Israelis.Minister Al-Yahya had told Voice of Palestine his government was working to dissolve militant groups, including Al-Aqsa brigades. He also said the Salam Fayyadh government is working to restore law and order in Palestinian territories and to curb unlicensed possession of arms. The government started to execute the plan in the city of Nablus, which is facing great security challenge. Fayyadh visits the city frequently to monitor progress of security operations.
