Dating

The statement is dated Saturday 10 October 2026 and does not say when the area was destroyed. The stored date is that of the statement, so the destruction took place on that day or earlier.

Quantities

The statement gives the area in dunums ("مساحة مزروعة بنبتة حشيشة الكيف تقدّر بـ60 دنمًا", an area planted with cannabis estimated at 60 dunums) and does not define the unit. No hectare figure is stored.

Place

The statement names the place as "بلدة الكنيسة – بعلبك" (the town of al-Kanisa, Baalbek). It does not name the district or the governorate. Baalbek District and Baalbek-Hermel Governorate are added from the town's location.

Map pin

The pin is OpenStreetMap's point for the village named "كنيسة" in Baalbek District. The statement does not locate the fields within the town.

Sources not used

The item follows the statement on the website of the Lebanese Army (Lebanese Army Command, 10 October 2026). A report of it in the Daily Beirut was not used.
