From AP:
Last week, the U.N. announced that the number of registered refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq and North Africa had reached 1 million.

On Thursday, Reem Alsalem of the U.N. refugee agency said more than 121,000 refugees registered since then, a jump of more than 10 percent.

U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres noted that the average number of Syrians fleeing their country every day rose from 3,000 in December to 8,000 in February.

“This represents a staggering escalation,” he said in a visit to Lebanon on Thursday.
But Syria is claiming that the rebels have - Israeli weapons!
Syria’s Ikhbariyah TV on Thursday showed pictures of a truck full of weapons and reported that it was captured by the Syrian army.

The weapons included Israeli rockets and pictures were shown of weaponry, military jackets and binoculars.

The truck was reportedly headed to Sbeineh in southern Damascus, when the Syrian army captured it and seized the weapons on board.
I couldn't find any photos of "Israeli rockets," and while the article in A lArabiya is sourced to Reuters, I couldn't find it at Reuters either.

Meanwhile:
Syrian rebels released more elaborate documentation of a Damascus synagogue that was allegedly bombed some two weeks ago by Bashar Assad's forces.

The opposition uploaded to Youtube videos showing the damaged synagogue's interior, filming the rubble on the floors and the damage to the rooms. The previous video only showed the exterior of the synagogue.


In addition, six more Palestinian Arabs in Syria were killed yesterday, adding to a similar number Wednesday.

I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
