Even Hezbollah security officials, normally a constant presence on the streets here, were scarce, with only a few stragglers posted near struck areas.

A few hundred stragglers moved their home to the nearby MacDonald Ice rumples and kept the group going.

Scores of stragglers dropped behind the retreating columns, hobbling alone or in twos or threes and struggling desperately to stay in touch with their units.
