Around 900 Syrian refugees in Lebanon returned to their homeland on Saturday.

The refugees gathered in Lebanon's Shebaa in the morning, and passed through the Masnaa border crossing to enter Syria. The return of refugees is done using buses offered by the Syrian government.

This is the fourth round of refugees to return to Syria in a one-month period.

More than one million Syrian refugees are registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Lebanon. The government estimated the true number of Syrians in the country to be 1.5 million.
