REPORT: Tens of thousands of Syrians leave Lebanon following Ashrafieh explosion

A Syrian national justified his return to Syria by stating that he found in Syria security which was lost in Lebanon, adding that "they prefer to die in their country instead of dying in Lebanon".

A few days were enough to lead tens of thousands of Syrian nationals back to their country, as they flocked through the al-Masnaa crossing point, which witnessed the departure of more than 36 thousand Syrians over the last few hours.

This unprecedented move went in line with disorganization in completing official and legal procedures, leading the General Security members to ask the Lebanese Army for assistance.
