No weight or count was published for the cannabis, so no cannabis weight is recorded in figures.
The cocaine weight of about 120 grams is not counted in cannabis figures because mixed-event totals cannot be combined.
No separate date for the ambush was given; 14 November 2026 is the Tuniscope publication date and is used as the incident date, while Jawhara FM published on 13 November 2026.
No charge, detention measure or court outcome was reported; the case stood at the investigation stage.
The suspect was identified only as a wanted man classified as dangerous, with no age or name given.
The three accounts reproduce the same police operation account, so there is no independent reporting beyond the official statement.
Tuniscope uses a generic stock layout of powder, syringes and pills labelled مخدرات, and Jawhara FM shows only a police officer's back beside a van, so no event photo is listed.
