Moroccan security forces have intercepted nearly three hundred migrants attempting to cross into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta.The operation followed false social media rumors claiming that border gates were wide open.Authorities stepped up patrols around the border town of Fnideq to prevent mass unauthorized crossings.
State media reports indicate that security personnel arrested migrants gathered on nearby hillsides and forested routes. These preventive security measures come hot on the heels of a massive surge weeks prior that overwhelmed local reception facilities. Officials remain alert because digital misinformation continues to drive desperate journeys across difficult terrains.
Intelligence teams also apprehended dozens of suspects accused of promoting illegal migration online. Law enforcement agencies across the region are working hard to crack down on human smuggling networks exploiting vulnerable youths.
