| Lebanon implements new controls at Syrian border |
| 2015-01-06 |
| [Ynet] Leb enforced new immigration controls at the Syrian border on Monday in a move to gain control of the steady stream of refugees from its much larger neighbour. Shopkeepers and taxi drivers on the Leb side of the Masnaa border crossing said thousands of Syrians crossed the frontier on Sunday before the rules were implemented at midnight. On Monday, the border was quiet. A security bigshot said on Saturday that Syrians would have to apply for entry permits for the first time and provide information about the purpose and length of their stay. |
