Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The page date line prints both November (تشرين ثاني) and September (سبتمبر) 2011, so the month is not settled; 2011-09-07 is used because September is printed beside the year, and no separate operation date was given.
No weight was published for the 9.5 hashish slabs, so no kilogram figure is recorded.
The suspect is identified only as Y.M., and no age, charges or court outcome beyond referral to the police inspector were reported.
Only this Al-Ray account could be opened, and no second report of the same event was found after searching in Arabic.
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.
