2 Illegal Border Crossings with Syria Closed
Lebanon’s joint border force has closed two illegal crossing points on the Lebanese-Syrian border in the northeast, the National News Agency reported.
NNA said Wednesday that two bulldozers closed the crossings near the village of Majdal in Wadi Khaled on the northeastern border with Syria in an effort to combat smuggling.
The operation was accompanied by tight security measures with units from the force patrolling the area.
The NNA said that the closure of the crossings was a step in future moves to block more illegal crossings suspected of being used for smuggling operations between the two countries.

Decades of weapon smuggling and the border crossings weren't closed, now that the Syrian civilians are escaping for their lives, the crossings get closed. Good job Lebanese authorities in serving the Syrian masters once again. The good old days (pre Syrian withdrawal) are definitely back, hopefully there will be no masters to serve soon enough when the Assads become like the Qaddafis.
