Hundreds of Syrian refugees headed home from Leba**n's border town of Arsal and dozens of wounded were evacuated Thursday during a Truce in fighting between jihadists and Lebanese soldiers. The truce, an**unced Wednesday night by Sunni clerics serving as mediators, has raised hopes of an end to the worst violence in the area since the conflict in neighbouring Syria erupted in March 2011. At least 17 soldiers have been killed battling the jihadists, who are reportedly from several different extremist groups fighting in Syria. The exodus of refugees, who had reportedly sought to leave Arsal even before the clashes, was being facilitated by Lebanese authorities and a Syrian nun close to President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
