The displacement crisis from Lebanon continues to escalate, with thousands—including members of Hezbollah—moving to areas in Syria that have already been affected by the Assad regime’s bombardment. These displaced individuals are seeking refuge in evacuated neighbourhoods, particularly in Homs governorate, which has experienced repeated shelling.
Reports indicate that many have settled in the neighbourhoods of al-Sabeel and Abbasiya, occupying homes that displaced Syrians previously abandoned from Khalidiya, al-Waer, and Bab al-Sbaa. There appears to be cooperation with Shiite militias loyal to Iran, and the Assad regime’s security forces have not objected to these developments.
