Army Thwarts Infiltration Attempt by 192 Syrians

The army has thwarted an attempt by 192 Syrians to cross into Lebanon clandestinely through the northern Lebanese-Syrian border. An army statement on Thursday said the infiltration attempt was foiled on April 2 (Wednesday) by army units combating smuggling across the land borders. Lebanon has the highest percentage of Syrian refugees per capita, estimated at some 2 million.
