    Borders among Lebanon-Syria experience smuggling operations

    (MENAFN)The border region among Lebanon and Syria in Baalbek-Hermel in eastern Lebanon often witnesses security tensions that increase and decrease depending on the smuggling processes being carried out there.
    Syrian army border guards shots at a number of young men at one of the illegitimate crossings known as the Arida border crossing, in the border village of Al-Qasr, killing on Saturday one Lebanese man and injuring another.
    Smuggling happens in the two directions, but from Lebanon to Syria becomes more common with failing economic conditions in both countries and the sanctions forced on Syria. This includes smuggling essential commodities subsidized by the Lebanese state such as flour, fuel and medicine. There are also illegitimate routes for smuggling stolen cars. Products smuggled to Syria also include raw materials for manufacturing and car parts.
