STORYLINE:
Trucks, buses and cars loaded with displaced Syrians and their belongings continued to return home on Thursday, passing the Masnaa crossing point between Lebanon and Syria.
Some were seen carrying their luggage as they crossed the border on foot.
"We have been in Lebanon for 13 years and now we are going back to Damascus," said Ala’a Daqdouqi, a displaced Syrian woman who was going back with her family in a car loaded with belongings.
The fall of Syria’s authoritarian government at the hands of insurgents has set off waves of jubilation, trepidation and alarm around the world.
Bashar Assad fled the country on Sunday, bringing to a dramatic close his nearly 14-year struggle to hold onto control as his country fragmented in a brutal civil war that became a proxy battlefield for regional and international powers.
Expatriate Syrians and many residents across the Middle East exulted at the overthrow of the leader who led his country through 14 years of civil strife that left half a million Syrians dead and displaced millions.
