The Lebanese Forces demanded that the government take all necessary and urgent measures with precision "to prevent any infiltration from Syria, specifically from the northern and eastern borders, into Lebanon, especially since the government is required to address the ongoing refugee crisis and not exacerbate it." In a statement issued by its media department, it emphasized: "To remind, we have not seen any practical steps resulting in the initiation of resolving the Syrian refugee crisis in Lebanon, while it is required, alongside preventing infiltration from Syria towards Lebanon, to immediately return the refugees from Lebanon to Syria."
