Grief and shock engulfed a remote village in north-west Syria Saturday as its inhabitants buried 23 locals killed by an Israeli missile strike on Lebanon. On Friday four Israeli missiles slammed into a refrigerated warehouse where farm workers were loading fruit about two miles from the Lebanon-Syria border, killing at least 23 people, according to Syrian hospital officials. At least 12 workers were wounded in the attack and more were likely buried under the rubble. It is thought there were around 150 people at the warehouse when the attack occurred. The coffins of the Syrians, mostly Kurds who worked in the Lebanese village of Qaa during summer to pack vegetables , were carried by 16 hearses through the narrow village streets. Wailing and weeping crowds thronged the pavements in front of the village cemetery. Large tents were erected to host the mourners, who came to Jandares village in north-west Syria from surrounding villages, according to a report of DPA.
