 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.
