Hezbollah evacuates 14 frontline posts
BEIRUT - Hezbollah has evacuated 14 frontline positions facing the disputed Shebaa Farms border area in southern Lebanon, Lebanese army sources said on Monday. The Lebanese Shiite militia closed all their positions in the Arqub mountain area, using bulldozers to level checkpoints and shut the entrances of tunnels and caves, they said.
I'll believe it when Italian teams comb the area and agree. | The Lebanese army has been deploying in the area, in the first such move into the border region of southern Lebanon in decades.
