  • Following Bashar al-Assad's fall on December 8, 2024, many of his loyalists fled to Lebanon fearing reprisals from new Islamist authorities.
  • On December 28, Lebanese authorities arrested and deported several pro-Assad soldiers and officers at the Arida crossing.
  • The arrests were part of a group of around 70 individuals stopped at a northern roadblock leading to Beirut.
  • A bus carrying Syrian nationals was also intercepted near Tripoli, and passengers were returned to the Lebanese army.
  • This escalation marks a significant response to the defections amid a heightened anti-Assad sentiment in Lebanon.
