More Syrians leave Lebanon for their homeland

Several dozen Syrian refugees left Lebanon for neighbouring Syria on Sunday (July 1st) as part of returns co-ordinated between both countries, AFP reported.

A total of 42 Syrians returned voluntarily from Lebanon through the Masnaa crossing, Lebanese authorities said.

A Lebanese co-ordinator said they were headed for areas including Moadmiyet al-Sham, a suburb of Damascus retaken by the regime in October 2016.

More Syrian refugees are returning as the regime reasserts its control over larger parts of the country.

Damascus has approved the return of 450 Syrian refugees from Lebanon from a list of 3,000 requesting to do so, Lebanon's National News Agency said.

On Thursday, 294 Syrians headed home from the Lebanese town of Arsal.
