BEIRUT: General Security said Wednesday it would reopen its border center with Syria, which was closed after residents attacked it over the alleged killing of a Syrian trying to enter the country.
“After the completion of maintenance work for the building and electronic equipments that were damaged as a result of an attack on the center by some residents, the general directorate of General Security announces that work will resume at the Arida border center starting Thursday morning,” a statement by the security agency said.
It added that an investigation, under the supervision of the military prosecutor, was ongoing to determine the identity of the perpetrators.
On Aug. 4, residents of the northern town of Arida attacked the joint General Security center and Syrian Customs Department, throwing stones at the building and breaking one of its Windows.
