A patrol from the regional General Security Center in Koura raided shops and commercial centers managed by Syrians illegally, as part of a campaign to close such establishments. During this operation, several commercial shops, including a lumber mill and a metalworking shop owned and operated by individuals of Syrian nationality, were shut down based on instructions from the North's Appeals Public Prosecutor. The shops were sealed with red wax, and the decision regarding the residency of the Syrians was left to the General Directorate of General Security.
