A window with broken glass overlooks the Lebanese-Syrian border as seen from a Lebanese
A window with broken glass overlooks the Lebanese-Syrian border as seen from a Lebanese military post, near the site of an ambush where gunmen killed at least six Lebanese soldiers, in the mountainous border town of Ras Baalbek December 3, 2014. Gunmen killed at least six Lebanese soldiers when they attacked an army patrol near the border with Syria on Tuesday, the army and a Lebanese security source said. The source said the gunmen crossed from Syria to the mountainous border town of Ras Baalbek after dark and ambushed the patrol. Clashes between gunmen and a special army unit erupted after the attack and the army was able to retrieve the bodies of six of its soldiers.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of an ambush on a Lebanese military post near the Lebanese-Syrian border. The image showcases a window with broken glass, symbolizing the shattered peace and security in this war-torn region. From the vantage point of a Lebanese military post, we witness the desolate landscape that stretches beyond the damaged window. The arid plain landform and open space reflect the harsh reality faced by those living amidst armed conflict. The elevated view allows us to see through the broken glass, emphasizing both physical and metaphorical barriers between Lebanon and Syria. The composition skillfully incorporates elements of nature, including mountains and hills that serve as silent witnesses to this tragic event. The sky above appears vast yet ominous, mirroring the uncertainty and turmoil that hangs over these troubled lands. Through creative use of depth of field, Mohamed Azakir highlights not only immediate destruction but also hints at broader consequences for both nations involved. In this haunting scene devoid of human presence, we are reminded of lives lost in pursuit of peace. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even from behind shattered windows, hope can still shine through – urging us all to work towards healing wounds inflicted by conflict and fostering understanding among nations.
