Report: Hizbullah Dissolves Sidon's Resistance Brigades
2013-10-10
[An Nahar] Hizbullah decided to dissolve its affiliated Resistance Brigades and to lift the cover off any member that breaches security, An Nahar newspaper reported on Wednesday.

According to the newspaper, the party's decision came in light of the increasing disputes between the members of the Resistance

Brigades and the residents and parties of the southern city of Sidon.

The report pointed out that Hizbullah is "convinced that the Resistance Brigades in Sidon is tarnishing its image in the city."

"The decision to dissolve it achieves more than one positive goal for Hizbullah," the report added.

Officials in Sidon have been demanding Hizbullah, after al-Asir's battle with the army, to withdraw its resistance brigades members from the city.
