Syrian violence reaches Lebanon
  • 12 years ago
Thousands flee Telkelakh in western Syria as troops carry out a crackdown on protest there. Soldiers are going from home to home and killing many, say eyewitnesses.

Hundreds of Syrians, including many injured by gunfire, have entered Lebanon through the porous border just 5km from the town - despite Lebanese troops reinforcing the frontier, reportedly at Syria's request.

Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from Beirut, has more details.
