Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No second independent account of this arrest could be opened; the report rests on one Arab Times item.
The article first says two drug enforcement officers were seriously injured in the Raqqa arrest and later says two detectives sustained injuries when the Jabriya suspect resisted; the report counts two injured officers on the basis that both passages appear to describe the same pair.
The article gives 17 June 2024 as both the dateline of the incident and its publication date; no separate time for the raid is given.
The names and ages of the two suspects, the exact start of the operation, and any later charges or court outcome were not published.
