Israeli military escalation on Lebanon 12 days on | 33 women and 46 children among 171 Syrian refugees killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon

Five Syrian refugees, including a woman and a little girl, were killed in Israeli strikes in different areas in Lebanon.

In the past 12 days, following beginning of the Israeli escalation on Lebanon on September 21, 171 Syrian refugees, including 33 women and 46 children, were killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) strongly condemns those attacks on peaceful civilians and calls upon the international community and humanitarian organisations to interfere immediately to protect civilians in the attacked areas, including Syrian refugees.

SOHR also calls for securing safe corridors for civilians to get out from the targeted areas and providing urgent humanitarian support to the affected families, such as food, medicines and shelter.

We, at SOHR, stress that Syrian refugees in Lebanon have no ties with the Lebanese Hezbollah, and that they are workers and displaced people who have been forced to leave their homeland, fleeing the war in Syria.

SOHR also calls for facilitating the return of refugees, who are not concerned about arrests, to their homeland and securing safe corridors for refugees, who do not want to stay in regime-controlled areas, to other zones of influence in Syria.

Accordingly, the number of Syrian refugees killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since the beginning of the war on Gaza has increased to 202, including 36 women and 50 children, as well as the injury of 21 others.

It is worth noting that Majdal Jendu village in the occupied Syrian Golan has experienced a horrific massacre that left 12 civilians, mostly children, dead. Tel Aviv and the Lebanese Hezbollah accused each others then of committing that massacre.
