Syrian refugees return home as violence escalates in Lebanon
Summary: Recent violence in Lebanon has led to a surge of Syrian refugees returning home. Over 320,000 Syrians have crossed back into Syria since Israeli airstrikes began three weeks ago, resulting in at least 21 deaths in Lebanon.
The airstrikes have primarily targeted areas in northern Lebanon, including a mostly Christian neighborhood. European leaders have condemned attacks on UN peacekeepers, emphasizing the need to uphold international humanitarian law.
The Red Crescent is providing assistance to those injured or unable to walk, but more support is needed in Syria, which continues to face severe challenges due to ongoing conflict.
