The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reports that around one thousand families have fled from a battle in central Syria to the Lebanese border town of Arsal.
The UNHCR says the families were forced to walk more than 30 kilometers to reach safety. The refugees have reportedly fled from the strategic al-Qalamoun area in the north-east of Damascus. The Syrian army is fighting militants there to cut supply lines to insurgent-held areas near Damascus. Activists say fighting has intensified in the mountainous region. Lebanese officials say around 1-point-4 million Syrians have taken refuge in their country so far.

Nusaybin district of Mardin in the east of the country is where the Turkish government is constructing a controversial 2-metre high wall widely believed to block cross-border relations between Syrian and Turkish Kurds. Nusaybin is a pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party stronghold. Many believe the wall that borders Qamishli in northern Syria is a project that provokes anti-Kurdish sentiment, as Qamishli is controlled by the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party.

More infighting breaks out between militants in Syria as the national army pushes ahead with operations across the country.
The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says a militant group calling itself the Islamic Front seized a crossing on the Turkish border from other insurgents. The capture of the Bab al-Hawa crossing came a few days after the Islamic Front took control of some arms depots of the Free Syrian Army. The Islamic Front does not recognize the F-S-A, which is one of the main armed opposition groups fighting the government. Meanwhile, masked gunmen have abducted a prominent Syrian human rights lawyer in Douma, a suburb of Damascus. Razan Zaytouni had accused al-Qaeda-linked insurgents of kidnapping activists and lawyers.
