Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The page date line prints both 02 تشرين ثاني (November) and أكتوبر (October) 2011, so the month is not settled; 2011-10-02 is used because October is printed beside the year, and no separate operation dates were given.
No weight was published for the 12 hashish slabs, so no kilogram figure is given.
The 1,070 plus 8,970 Atramal pills and two beer bottles are non-cannabis and are excluded from cannabis figures; the 1,500-dollar Gaza value covers mixed hashish, pills and beer and is not counted as a cannabis value, while the 13,000-dollar central value covers pills only.
Only this Al-Ray account could be opened, and no second report of the same event was found.
The page image has an empty caption and credit, so whether it shows this seizure is not established and it is not listed as media.
Only initials were published for the four men, and no street addresses, charges or court outcomes were published.
