Alavit’s Syrian families run to Lebanon after violence

It is believed that at least 6,000 Syrians have gone to neighboring Lebanon in the last few days to escape the violence in the coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus.

The area is a fortress of the processed former president of Syria, Bashar al -Assad, and hundreds of civilians have been killed there by the new government’s security forces.
