As a result of the Syrian Civil War many Lebanese people from Syria, mainly dual citizens of Lebanon and Syria, returned and continue to return to Lebanon.[1][6] Many of these are dual citizens from the so-called “Lebanese villages”, predominantly Shiite villages just inside Syria, where the villagers are said to hold Lebanese citizenship.[7] Also, Lebanese Shias try to defend the Lebanese Shias' area around the holy Shiite shrine of Sayida Zeinab, named for the granddaughter of Islam's Prophet Muhammad's, south of Damascus.[4] Unfortunately, the conflict around these border areas with Lebanese minority populations is used to increase the Syrian Civil War spillover in Lebanon.[7]
