“A force from the Counter Human Trafficking and Morals Protection Bureau raided the aforementioned location on Saturday after obtaining information about the presence of a network that was facilitating prostitution for several women who lived in the building,” the ISF said in a statement.

Five Syrian women, four Syrian men and two Lebanese males were arrested in the operation on charges of facilitating and practicing prostitution, the ISF added.
