BEIRUT, May 10 (Reuters) - Hezbollah fighters began withdrawing from Beirut on Saturday after the Lebanese army overturned government measures against the group, witnesses said.

They said gunmen, who had taken over the capital after routing pro-government supporters on Friday, were being driven out of Beirut's seaside front and other areas. Lebanese soldiers were seen patrolling the streets evacuated by Hezbollah and its allies. (Writing by Nadim Ladki)
