Lebanon says almost 240,000 people crossed to Syria since Israeli strikes intensified

Lebanon said Tuesday that almost 240,000 people, mostly Syrians, have crossed to Syria since Israel began pounding the country last week with intense airstrikes on what it says are Hezbollah targets.

Lebanese authorities registered "the crossing of 176,080 Syrian citizens and 63,373 Lebanese citizens into Syrian territory" from September 23, a report from the country's disaster management unit said.
