An Internal Security Forces Unit exchanged fir on Tuesday with suspects during a raid in the Taamir Ain el-Hilweh area in the southern city of Sidon.
The state-run National News Agency reported that the raided the area in search for wanted suspects.
Future television reported that a unit comprised of ISF members and the Intelligence Bureau came under fire while carrying out a raid in Sidon to apprehend suspects affiliated in the Hizbullah Resistance Brigades.
Media reports had said that Hizbullah decided to dissolve its affiliated Resistance Brigades to lift the cover off any member that breaches security.
Salafist cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir accused in June 2013 Hizbullah of using several apartments in Abra in Sidon to stockpile weapons and house fighters.
Al-Asir supporters clashed several times with the members of the Hizbullah's Resistance Brigades in Abra.
The Salafist cleric, a 45-year-old cleric who supports the overwhelmingly Sunni rebels fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad, is no where to be found after his supporters clashed in June with the army.
Officials in Sidon have been demanding Hizbullah, after al-Asir's battle with the army, to withdraw its resistance brigades members from the city.

Mowaten - Hizbollah reduced the size and did not dissolve the Resistance Brigades. These brigades were used as means to help them impose their authority on the Sunni community. We had the same happening in Tripoli but many turned on the Hizb after its support of the gang of Ali Eid shelling of Tripoli and their involvement in Syria. While the Hizb USED TO BE respected by many in the Sunni community, the Syrian regime is almost universally reviled. Now both are in the same camp.

We are starting to see even-handed justice. Hit Brital's criminals, Saida's criminals, Hermel's criminals and Tripoli's criminals with an iron fist. No hand shall be longer than the arm of the Law and its enforcers.
