Army Arrests 81 Syrians for Entering Lebanon 'Illegally'
The army carried out a series of raids on Monday in several regions, during which 81 Syrians were arrested.
An army statement said the Syrian nationals were apprehended for entering Lebanon illegally.
Eighteen motorcycles were also confiscated during the crackdown.
Security forces had intensified their measures across the country in the wake of deadly a deadly suicide bombing that rocked the southern Beirut suburb of Bourj al-Barajneh.
The attack, which was claimed by the extremist Islamic State group, left 43 people dead and 239 others wounded.
