Desperate journeys: Syrian refugees fleeing Israel's assault on Lebanon
Briefly

"Musa Baghdadi paid $6,000 for the privilege of exchanging one bombardment for another. I paid to escape the shelling in Lebanon to reach my village, which is also under bombardment by Assad's army."
"The little house has not fared well in the 12 years since the Baghdadi family fled the Syrian regime to take refuge in Lebanon. It currently has no windows, and has suffered significant damage from shelling by al-Assad regime forces."
"According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), the number of Syrian refugees killed in Lebanon as a result of the ongoing and intense Israeli escalation on Lebanese territory has now reached 176, including 33 women and 46 children."
"Baghdadi, 64, is just one of more than a quarter of a million Syrians believed to have returned to Syria since the full-blown Israeli assault on Lebanon began last month."
