Beirut, 2007 Sep 4, IRIB

Hundreds of people lined the streets of the northern Lebanese city of Trablos on Tuesday as the army began to withdraw from a bombed-out camp that was the scene of fierce battles with the suspicious Fatah al-Islam grouplet members.

Men, women and children waved Lebanese flags as commando units in armored personnel carriers, tanks and other military vehicles slowly made their way toward their home base near Beirut.

Dozens of Palestinians who were forced to flee Nahr al-Bared camp at the start of the deadly clashes between the Fatah al-Islam members and the army on May 20 also joined in the celebrations, waving Palestinian flags.

Motorists, including ambulances and fire trucks, honked their horns as the soldiers went by, all smiles and flashing the "V" for victory sign.
