Syrian troops withdrew from a key position in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley on Saturday, Lebanese security sources said.


Fifteen trucks loaded with Syrian soldiers, equipment and personal goods left the position of Majdaloun, 5 kilometers west of the ancient city of Ballebck, and headed towards Homos inside Syrian territory, the sources said.


On Friday the Syrian army pulled back from at least four positions north of the Bekaa valley.
