The page date line reads 03 تشرين ثاني / يونيو 2021, mixing November and June; 3 June 2021 is used as the incident date and no separate date for the searches is given.
No weight was published for the 49 pieces of hashish (37 in Rafah and 12 in the Central Governorate), so no kilogram figure is recorded.
The article's headline counts 49 hashish pieces, the sum of the 37 and 12 seized in the two separate searches, though the two cases were handled by different governorate forces.
The photograph published with the article shows a placard carrying different figures, 36 and a half pieces of hashish and 2,414 Rotana pills dated 01/06/2021, so what it depicts may not be exactly the quantities given in the text.
Rotana pills are not described beyond being a narcotic; the text does not say whether any cannabis is contained in them, and their quantity is excluded from the cannabis figures.
The two suspects are identified only by initials (S. J. and S. A.), and no charges, court dates or outcomes were reported.
The source does not say whether the two cases are linked beyond being reported together.
Only one accessible source for this event was found, and its account derives from the anti-drug department's own statement.
The page photo has no caption or credit, but the screenshot shows hashish slabs and bags of pills laid out with a police placard, so it is linked to the seized material.
