Lebanese army shuts illegal crossings along border with Syria
BEIRUT: A patrol from the Lebanese army and the Intelligence Directorate on Monday closed several smuggling routes in Masharih Al-Qaa, a region between Lebanon and Syria that lacks clearly defined borders. A Lebanese military source said the area was used for smuggling goods, fuel and people and that the army head 'erected dirt mounds and rocks to prevent the passage of vehicles and motorcycles.' The border between Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic stretches about 375 km and runs through towns, villages and mountainous regions. The Lebanese government estimates there to be 136 illegal crossing points, of which more than half are in the Bekaa region. A shortage of personnel and surveillance equipment means many of these areas are vulnerable to criminal activity, including human trafficking and the smuggling of weapons, drugs and other goods. These open borders have served the interests of Hezbollah and Palestinian factions allied with Syria. Over the years, Hezbollah has established its own border crossings and helped protect others used by smugglers from its support base. Palestinian factions also established their border posts, which served as channels for weapons and people. Dismantling them was the first task undertaken by the Lebanese army in implementing the policy of confining weapons to the hands of the state. The army on Sunday denied claims made on social media that armed men had entered Lebanon from Syria via the eastern mountain range and that it had withdrawn from border areas in the Bekaa. Military units 'continue to carry out their routine missions to control the Lebanese-Syrian border, while also monitoring the internal security situation to prevent any breach,' it said. It also appealed for 'accuracy in reporting news related to the army and the security situation, to act responsibly and to refrain from spreading rumors that lead to tension among citizens.' Since the regime change in Syria, several meetings between the two countries have been held to improve coordination on border security. On March 28, Lebanese Defense Minister Michel Menassa and his Syrian counterpart, Murhaf Abu Qasra, signed an agreement in Jeddah regarding border demarcation and the strengthening of security coordination. This came in the wake of violent clashes between the Syrian army and groups affiliated with Hezbollah along the border earlier in the month. The issue of undefined borders dates back to the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, when France was granted the mandate over the two countries and drew the borders in a vague and incomplete manner. Some parts were demarcated in 1934, but large areas remained undefined. The Syrian regime later refused to officially recognize Lebanon as an independent state and considered it part of 'Greater Syria.' Kuwait expresses solidarity On Monday, the Kuwaiti First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah met Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. He said that Lebanon 'will remain Lebanon' and that the 'arms issue will be resolved soon.' He also affirmed Kuwait's support for Lebanon 'in all areas, especially security cooperation' and called for activating the work of the Kuwaiti-Lebanese Higher Joint Committee to explore avenues for assisting Lebanon. The president's media office said Aoun told the Kuwaiti minister of the 'importance of coordination to address common challenges, particularly in terms of security cooperation to combat drug smuggling and anything that threatens security in both countries.'

Lebanese army destroys major captagon and crystal meth lab, seals off tunnel
The Lebanese army has dismantled what it described as one of the largest captagon pill-manufacturing labs discovered to date in Yammoune in the Baalbek region of eastern Lebanon. Army chiefs said on Monday that forces raided the facility 24 hours earlier.

Lebanese army says seizes ‘one of the largest' captagon factories to date
The Lebanese army said on Monday it dismantled 'one of the largest' captagon factories during a raid in the northeastern Baalbek province near neighboring Syria, previously the largest exporter of the amphetamine-like narcotic. In a statement, the army said that 'after the intelligence directorate received information about a major captagon pill factory in the town of Yammouneh, Baalbek, a patrol from the directorate, supported by an army unit, raided the factory.' The military added that the factory 'turned out to be one of the largest factories seized to date.' Soldiers dismantled the machinery and seized a 'large quantity' of pills, though the army did not specify how many. Captagon became Syria's largest export following the eruption of the civil war in 2011, and a key source of illicit funding for former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government. In Lebanon, al-Assad's ally Hezbollah also faced accusations of using the captagon trade to finance itself. The drug has flooded the region, with neighboring countries occasionally announcing captagon seizures and asking Lebanon and Syria to ramp up efforts to combat the trade. With AFP
