Quantities
The statement lists about 60 kg of hashish, 35 kg of Captagon and 22 kg of marijuana. The Captagon is not cannabis and is mentioned in the summary only. The statement also reports rocket projectiles and about 24 kg of TNT seized by a unit in Al Qasr, Hermel, in a separate attempt to smuggle materials from Syria into Lebanon.
Sources not used
The item follows the army's own statement alone. The statement names the man by initials only, and he is not named here.
Category
The man was stopped as he tried to take the drugs into Syria, so the item is filed as Trafficking, interdiction in transit, not as a local seizure.
Map pin
The statement says "the outskirts of Aarsal" and gives no point. The pin is Wikidata's point for Arsal (Q4796334), rounded to two decimals, and marks the town.
