Hezbollah evacuates 14 frontline posts
2006-08-29
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.

#7  Bad headline. Naughty headline!

Hezbollah evacuates bowels amid Israeli onslaught

There, all better.

Zen, I think it's 5 hospitals, 5 kindergartens and 4 UN bases. Ah, the importance of UN 'neutrality'.

All right, all right, you win, mcsegeek1 Sheesh, how could I have possibly overlooked the UN slime factor?

#6  Thanks for the AAA graphic with both 'day shift' and 'night shift' crews. (The lad with the beer belly and green shirt must be the trainer / contractor). Yet another missed photo opportunity for Jane Fonda. She must be very angry.

#4  It's 14 places they figgered they'd get more publicity out of by leaving, than utility by staying. They saw some advantage.

Oh, no; wait. They've been converted to peacefull folk by ... um ... Jesse Jackson's impending visit, that's it!

#3  Hezbollah evacuates 14 frontline posts

So, that's seven hospitals and seven kindergartens they've abandoned.
Right?
