"Lebanon's opposition has begun withdrawing its fighters from the streets of Beirut, handing control to the army, after seizing much of the city in battles with government supporters. "The opposition welcomes the army's decision and will proceed with the withdrawal of all its armed elements so that control of the capital is handed over to the military", an opposition statement said. Thirty-seven people have been killed in the four days of fighting that erupted after the government said it would take action against Hezbollah's communications network and sacked the head of security at Beirut airport, who is close to the group".
