The rebels said they withdrew overnight in the face of a massive assault. In the face of this huge arsenal and lack supplies and the blatant intervention of Hezbollah... tens of fighters stayed behind and ensured the withdrawal of their comrades along with the civilians. The previously bustling town where 30,000 people once lived is now in ruins, with not one building visible that escaped the intense fighting. There appears to be only a handful of civilians left. Both Syrian troops and Hezbollah fighters are in evidence everywhere - travelling in trucks and armoured vehicles, firing guns in celebration and moving on foot through the streets.
