Hezbollah, a Lebanese Islamist militant group, has been fighting alongside Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war since 2012.
The rebel fighters will head to the city of al-Rouhiba, a rebel-held town in Syria's eastern Qalamoun region, located 50 kilometres north-east of Damascus.
Lebanese media said that some refugees will go to the Syrian government-held area of Assal al-Ward, located near the border with Lebanon.
The departures comes after fighters belonging to the al-Qaeda-affiliated Fatah al-Sham group left the outskirts of Arsal earlier this month towards the Syrian province of Idlib, after they were defeated by Hezbollah.
Syria's civil war, now in its seventh year, has devastated the country, claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced about half of the pre-war population of 22 million.
