Foiling the Attempt of Syrians to Illegally Cross the Border

During this week, on various dates, army units managed to thwart an attempt by approximately 1,500 Syrians to illegally cross the Lebanese-Syrian border as part of their mission to combat human smuggling and illegal infiltration. The army command warns citizens against participating in smuggling operations, as they expose themselves to legal repercussions. It also affirms that it will intensify its measures to arrest those involved and hand them over to the competent authorities.
