Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAround 300 refugees return to their hometown in Syria from northeast Lebanon, where tensions have been high following army raids and suicide attacks on camps in the area.
The refugees returned home today under a deal negotiated by Syrian rebels in the camps and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is fighting in Syria on behalf of President Bashar Assad’s government.
Lebanon is home to more than a million refugees fleeing the six-year conflict in neighboring Syria, but Lebanese ministers say they must go home to safe territory as soon as possible.
