No it didn't. Fights just broke out again in Mount Lebanon, although Beirut has calmed. But i called some friends and they can still see some Hezbos in the streets of Beirut.

And the news is innaccurate. Only after Hezbollah announced they would be withdrawing from the streets did the army announce they would take over the streets. The army is very careful not to mess with Hezbollah, because Hezbollah's army is ten times bigger than the Lebanese army, and if the army shows signs of supporting the gov't and going against Hezbollah, then it will probably be the end of the army.

Cheers comrades. Peace and solidarity from Lebanon! No to bourgeois religious factions! Yes to working-class unity! Before workers of the world can unite, workers of lebanon must unite rather than think about being shiite or sunni!
