BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria's new administration has imposed restrictions on Lebanese crossing their shared border into Syria, a Lebanese security official and a Syrian official said on Friday.
The restrictions, which come as Lebanon is seeking better ties with its neighbour under the new rulers, mean Lebanese who do not have a residency or family inside Syria will not be able to cross, the Lebanese security official said, though he noted that some exceptions were being made for those with other business inside Syria.
