11 Syrians Arrested in Army Raids in Zgharta
A number of Syrians were arrested on Wednesday during Army Intelligence raids in the Zgharta district in the North, reported the National News Agency.
It said that the forces arrested 11 Syrians during raids on their encampments in Ehden in Zgharta.
They were detained because they did not have the proper legal documents.
Four motorcycles were also impounded in the operation.
The security forces have carried out in recent months raids against various Syrian refugee encampments in Lebanon in search of wanted suspects.
A number of suspects have been arrested, several of whom were charged of belonging to terrorist groups.
One of the most serious raids was conducted by the army in late September against a Syrian encampment in the northeastern region of Arsal.
One assailant was killed and several others were injured during the operation when the army opened fire on them in Arsal for setting fire to tents in refugee encampments.
The military arrested scores of Syrians and Lebanese, including four gunmen belonging to the al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front.
