    A few weeks ago, the Saida branch of the Lebanese Brigades to Resist the Israeli Occupation launched an internal workshop to strengthen its organizational structure and members’ commitments to Saraya principles. However, the workshop is not set to address accusations against of the group’s "thuggery and assaults.”

    According to Hossam, one of the founders of the group in Saida, the Saraya "is taking the normal path of such organizations when they emerge,” after being forced to postpone due to security concerns, especially the Ahmad al-Assir phenomenon.

    The group does not require the help of Hezbollah to oversee the workshop. “The group is capable of organizing itself,” insisted Hossam. He is a veteran of the leftist resistance, which he joined when he was 16. “I am still a Marxist Leninist and a believer in social justice and armed struggle for people’s liberation,” Hossam said
