Border - Lebanon/Syrian - 'Free trade' in goods, rather than arms
Lebanon -Gulf News (Dubai,United Arab Emirates)/Reuters, by Wadi Khalid -24 Aug 206: -- Lebanese soldiers deploying in the northeast of the country to intercept Hezbollah weapons will spend more time uncovering contraband goods than halting arms shipments, local people said on Wednesday... Acting under the UN resolution, which brought an end to a month of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanese army set up checkpoints in the Wadi Khalid pocket on the Syrian border five days ago... They have a mandate to check vehicles for weapons but in practice the soldiers are more likely to find smuggled cement, plate glass, diesel fuel, tobacco, beer or motorcycles...
