Lebanese caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour denied on Wednesday that Lebanon hasn’t been adopting the policy of dissociation from the Syrian crisis.

“The Lebanese state rejects the intervention in Syria from any side and has never contradicted the dissociation policy,” local media outlets quoted Mansour as saying.

The caretaker minister added that Lebanon has in the past two years been witnessing the smuggling of arms and the infiltration of insurgents across the border.

“But this doesn't mean that the state approves such things,” Mansour said.

Syria was hit by a violent unrest since mid-March 2011, where the Syrian government accuses foreign actors of orchestrating the conflict, by supporting the militant opposition groups with arms and money.

During the last month, Lebanon’s National Army foiled several attempts of Lebanese groups trying to infiltrate into Syria to fight for al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front against the Syrian army.

Al-Manar correspondents in Aleppo and Homs have reported that the national army is launching large-scale military operations inside neighborhoods occupied by terrorist insurgents and is liberating civilians stuck there.
