As part of its campaign to combat illegal activities by Syrian migrants, the General Security has in recent days sealed off hundreds of businesses that are operated or leased by Syrian migrants living in an illegal situation across the country.
Over the past five days, nearly 540 businesses have been closed in various regions, including Bourj Hammoud, Tripoli, Batroun, Jbeil, Jounieh, the southern suburbs, Tyre, Aley and Saida, according to sources cited by the LBCI channel.
In Saida alone, General Security arrested five Syrian nationals on Saturday, bringing the total number of Syrian migrants arrested there to twelve in just two days.
Caretaker Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi assured, in a speech delivered at the congress of the Order of Pharmacists, that his Ministry "will continue to enforce the laws to protect Lebanon and the Lebanese."
