Hezbollah’s chief called Friday on refugees from Qusayr in Syria to return home to this area, where the Lebanese Shiite movement first stepped in to support Damascus against rebels six years ago. Syria’s military retook Qusayr, a strategic town near Lebanon’s border, in June 2013 after a blistering assault led by Hezbollah fighters. “We have sorted our situation in Qusayr to allow for the full return of people from the town and the (surrounding) villages,” Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech.
