Fleeing Syrians stopped after trying to force their way into Lebanon, exc. senior Assad officials escorted by Hezbollah

[NAHARNET] Large numbers of Syrians fleeing their country on Monday flocked to the Masnaa border crossing with Leb
 ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
and some of them tried to force their way into the country without going through Lebanese General Security measures, General Security said.
The agency said the crowding happened due to ''the absence of Syrian General Security in the Jdeidet Yabous border post.''
''In coordination with the army and the Internal Security Forces, General Security controlled the situation and returned them to Syrian territory, allowing only those who meet the applicable conditions to enter,'' General Security added.
LBCI television meanwhile reported that the Lebanese Army ''stopped 340 Syrians who entered (Lebanon) through smuggling routes between al-Masnaa and the Anjar valley.''
General Security chief ''Brigadier General al-Baissari contacted the Prime Minister, the Minister of Interior and the Army Command,'' after which security reinforcements were sent to ''control the massive influx of people fleeing Syrian Shiite towns towards Lebanon,'' MTV reported.
Caretaker Interior Minister Bassam al-Mawlawi had followed up on the situation at the Masnaa border crossing and instructed General Security to ''instantly take the necessary measures to prevent illegal entry attempts by Syrians.''
Report: Senior Syrian officials fled to Lebanon with help of Hezbollah after fall of Assad
[IsraelTimes] Citing Lebanese media outlets, the Kan public broadcaster reports that senior officials of the toppled Syrian regime have fled across the border into Lebanon with the help of the Hezbollah terror group.
Among those said to have fled to Lebanon in the days leading up to the dramatic fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime are his family members, intelligence officials, and close business associates, Kan reports.
The former director of Syria’s national security bureau Ali Mamlouk is also said to be among them.
Mamlouk has been wanted by the Lebanese government since 2012 for allegedly planning the assassination of Lebanese political and religious leaders, and by the French government since 2018 for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
According to the report, the Syrian officials were provided with Lebanese license plates and smuggled into Beirut with the help of Hezbollah operatives. It adds that they are believed to be located in Dahiyeh, the Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
| Israel no doubt is taking an interest, but there’s already so much rubble in Dahiyeh… |
