40,000 Estimated Lebanese refugees who crossed into Lebanon from Syria through the Jdaidet Yabous, Joussieh and Al-Arida border crossing points since the ceasefire on 27 November, as of 7 December
Reverse population movements from Syria to Lebanon continued following the ceasefire announcement between Israel and Hezbollah on 27 November 2024, mainly through the Jdaidet Yabous (Rural Damascus) border crossing. The Al Arida border crossing (Tartous) reopened on 2 December with limited capacity, but was again put out of commission following airstrikes on 6 December. Jesr Qmar and Joussieh (Homs) border crossings were also hit, but the latter continued to allow pedestrians to cross.
