Dahiyeh Security Plan Reaches Zero-Hour

A security plan set to be implemented in the capital Beirut and its southern suburbs has entered the final stages as security forces are mobilizing to deploy heavily in the area to clamp down on outlaws.

Sources told al-Mustaqbal newspaper published on Tuesday that the security plan will kick off in April and will include all the neighborhoods of Dahiyeh, including Hizbullah's strongholds.

The sources said that Hizbullah is in complete harmony with the state's plan after the increase in drug and prostitution cases busted in the area.

Media reports had said earlier this month that the party informed concerned officials that it can no longer tolerate the “repercussions of the proliferation of arms” in its stronghold, in particular after the clashes between al-Jaafar and Zoaiter families in Burj al-Barajneh and the spread of crimes “which only the state can combat.”
