BEIRUT - 28 June 2018: The first batch of Syrian refugees in Lebanon's Arsal camp started on Thursday crossing borders to return to their war-ravaged homeland.

About 400 Syrians crossed the borders after having requested permission from the Lebanese and Syrian governments.

The refugees gathered in the Wadi Hmeid area in Arsal, where a Lebanese security officer checked their IDs against a list, before allowing them to cross into Syria.
