The Lebanese Army announced Saturday the arrest of 90 Syrians who had entered the country illegally, following raids carried out in various regions.

All detainees have been referred to the competent judicial authorities.

Two weeks ago, the army arrested more than 50 Syrians who had also entered Lebanon illegally, during raids in camps in the North.
