"ON AUGUST 4th Basheer Shebli was woken at 5am to hear men talking, in classical Arabic rather than his local Syrian dialect, of killing everyone in his house. In a panic, he and his family fled, his wife carrying their four-year-old son and their other two children, nine and 11, running behind Basheer. The fighters shot his wife dead and took away his youngest son."
