A Father Finds the Son He Thought He Had Lost

After Chemical Attack, Father and Son Are Reunited

Video posted online on Monday shows a man overcome with emotion as he is reunited with his young son, who he thought had been killed in a chemical weapons attack last week on the town of Zamalka. Friends and neighbors celebrate around them, hugging and kissing one another, as the two embrace. "Thank you, God," the man weeps. Later, his son sits on his lap, hair neatly combed, and cries. The man strokes and kisses his cheeks, cooing, "Don't be upset. I am beside you, my darling. I am beside you."
