Hezbollah pulled all forces out of Syria on Saturday, security sources say

Lebanese group Hezbollah withdrew all of its forces from Syria on Saturday as rebels approached the capital Damascus, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters.

One of the sources said that the supervising forces that Hezbollah had deployed to Syria overnight between Thursday and Friday had been sent to oversee the pullback.

The Lebanese Army has meanwhile deployed reinforced units to the northern and eastern with Syria borders in response to the current situation in Syria, the military said.
