Abra: Who Fired the First Shot?

Ma Khafi A‘dham (The Hidden Is Greater) investigates the events of Abra that erupted in Sidon, southern Lebanon, between security forces and members of Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir’s movement. Al-Assir was known for his support of the Syrian revolution and his calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah. The clashes resulted in fatalities on both sides, raising the question: did Hezbollah ignite the Abra events?

I had the privilege of being part of this investigative effort with a professional and specialized investigative journalism team.
