The Army Intelligence carried out on Saturday raids on Syrian refugee encampments in the northern city of Zgharta and the Mount Lebanon region of Iqlim al-Kharroub, reported the National News Agency.
It said that 15 Syrians were arrested during the operation in Zgharta.
A number of flags and banners of the Islamic State jihadist group were also seized.
Later on Saturday, the army arrested 11 people during raids on Syrian refugee gatherings in the Wadi Bisri region located between Shouf and Jezzine.
The military said nine Syrians were arrested between the town of Bisri and its plain for "moving inside Lebanon in an illegal manner."
An Egyptian national and a stateless man were also apprehended during the raid, said the army.
According to NNA, the raids are part of "the army's measures to preserve security and stability and pursue security violators" and were aimed at "checking if armed men had sought refuge in that area."
Later on Saturday, NNA said a State Security patrol arrested a man in the Akkar area of Zouk al-Habalsa on suspicion of “belonging to a terrorist group.”
On October 8, the Army Intelligence arrested 11 Syrians during raids on their encampments in Ehden in the Zgharta district.
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 with belonging to terrorist groups.

Deport all the Syrian refugees, or at least send them to Chouf/Meerab. Why should the non-Al Qaeda sympathizing Lebanese pay for the actions of the FSA-Al Qaeda-ISIS jihadist salafist terrorists and their February 14 allies? Enough is enough.

I am with you Karim on this one, now that the Syrian sides have drawn their lines in Syria, let everyone of them start leaving, Syrians are now clearly a burden well beyond our capacity to sustain. But when we say Syrians, it means all of them to go, and no preference to any side, if you got my drift.

Yes Phoenix, all sides, unconditionally. And while we're at it, let them take the Palestinian refugees with them too.

Zgharta? Ehden? Isn't this Sleiman Franjieh country? What are Islamic State Jihadists doing in this area where Franjieh rules and is more loyal to Assad than anyone? Were these all Islamic Jihadists that were arrested or were some loyal to the Assad regime?
