No date is given for the raid; 9 November 2026 is the date of the Internal Security Forces statement and of the articles, and stands in for the incident date.
No weight is given for the hashish found in one large and 11 medium bags, so no kilogram figure is recorded.
The narcotic substances in the 145 Sanita sachets and the plastic capsules are not identified beyond 'narcotic substance' and 'white narcotic substance'; only the hashish is counted as cannabis.
The about 710 Captagon pills and the sachets of other narcotics are outside the cannabis scope and are not counted in the figures.
The sum of money seized in US dollars and Lebanese pounds is not stated, so no cash figure is recorded.
The three suspects are identified only by initials and birth years, with no charges, prosecutor decision or court outcome reported.
ElSiyasa and IMLebanon reproduce the same Internal Security Forces statement, so they are not independent reporting of the arrest.

Lebanese forces eradicated 255 dunams of cannabis across Baalbek-Hermel from January to 10 November 2026, ending with an operation in Jerd Marjhine. The crop remains unlawful because parliament's 2020 medical-cannabis law still lacks implementing decrees.
Lebanon's Internal Security Forces arrested eight people from several drug-dealing networks in ambushes and raids on different dates in Bourj al-Barajneh, Nabaa, Zouk, Ouzai, Tyre, Tripoli, Dekwaneh and Sabtiyeh. Officers seized hashish, marijuana and other drugs along with 18 motorcycles and several firearms, but published no weights for any of the drugs.
The Lebanese Army raided wanted men's homes in Dar al-Wasaa, Baalbek, seizing 22 kg of hashish and 22,000 Captagon pills, destroying 14 cannabis-growing tents and arresting two Syrians. The drugs were handed to the authorities and an investigation opened.
A drone strike attributed to the Lebanese Army in Dar al-Wassaa near Yammouneh killed Hassan Abbas Jaafar, a member of the Jaafar clan wanted for drug trafficking, killings and attacks on soldiers; two other clan members were wounded. The army did not mention the strike, saying soldiers returned fire during raids and killed a wanted man.
