Between bomb craters: Taxis stuck on war-hit Lebanon-Syria border

Stuck in no man's land on the war-hit Lebanon-Syria border, cab driver Fadi Slika now scrapes a living ferrying passengers between two deep craters left by Israeli air strikes.The journey is just two kilometres (about 1.2 miles), but Slika has no other choice -- his taxi is his only source of income."My car is stuck between craters: I can't reach Lebanon and I can't go back to Syria. Meanwhile we're under threat of (Israeli) bombardment," said the 56-year-old."I work and sleep here between the two holes," he told AFP.
