The Lebanese Army statement is dated Tuesday 13 October 2026 and does not give the date of the raid. The stored date is the date of the statement.
Source discrepancies
| Point | Lebanese Army statement | Ici Beyrouth |
|---|---|---|
| What was destroyed | "14 tents used for marijuana cultivation" | "14 serres de cannabis" (14 cannabis greenhouses) |
| Arrests elsewhere in the statement | "134 Syrians" in other districts, 136 with the two at Dar al-Wasaa, in the statement's headline | "134 Syriens" in Hermel, Batroun and Akkar |
The item follows the army statement. Neither source states a number of plants or an area.
Category
The statement reports both a seizure and the destruction of 14 tents used for cultivation, and counts no plants. The item is filed as Eradication because a destruction is reported. It could also be read as Enforcement, a raid and seizure with the tents as incidental.
Quantities
The 22,000 Captagon pills are not cannabis and are mentioned in the summary only. The 134 other arrests in Hermel, Batroun and Akkar, for moving without legal papers, are not part of this item.
Place
The statement writes "Dar al-Wasaa – Baalbek". Ici Beyrouth writes "Dar el-Wassaa". The pin is OpenStreetMap's point for the village of Dar al-Wasaa in Baalbek District, rounded to two decimals, and marks the village.
Sources not used
Ici Beyrouth's brief reports the statement and adds nothing to it.
