Lebanon says boosting troops on Syria border after Assad's fall
The Lebanese Army said on Sunday it was reinforcing its presence on the border with neighboring Syria, after the government of longtime President Bashar al-Assad fell and rebels took the capital Damascus.
"In light of rapid developments and delicate circumstances that the region is going through... units tasked with monitoring and controlling the northern and eastern borders have been reinforced, in conjunction with tightening surveillance measures," the army said in a statement.
