More than 100,000 Syrians, mainly of minority faiths, have fled Syria to Lebanon since Syrian rebels toppled the government of Bashar al-Assad, according to a Reuters report on Friday.
Of the tens of thousands of Syrians who have fled, most are Shia Muslims, according to Lebanese officials who spoke with Reuters.
They fled after receiving threats, including on WhatsApp and Facebook, Reuters reported, citing Syrians at the border with Lebanon.
Syria's new transition government, mainly dominated by Sunni Muslims, has given assurances that minorities will be protected.
