Horizons gives the period as "du 7 au 13 octobre 2026" (in English: from 7 to 13 October 2026) and says the report was issued "mercredi" (in English: on Wednesday), which was 14 October 2026. The article was published on 14 October, and this news item carries that date, the day after the week the report covers.
Quantities
The headline says "plus de 4 quintaux", the standfirst says "plus de 4 quintaux de kif traité" and the body says "4 quintaux et 82 kilogrammes de kif traité" (in English: more than 4 quintals, and 4 quintals and 82 kilograms). This news item converts at 100 kg to the quintal and gives 482 kg, the sum of several attempts. The 47 traffickers and the 368,937 psychotropic tablets cover all drugs, not cannabis alone, and the tablets are not part of the 482 kg.
Attribution
The origin is the army's wording: "provenant des frontières avec le Maroc" (in English: coming from the borders with Morocco). The article attributes it to the army's operational report and gives no other evidence.
Category
Like the army's weekly report of 9 September 2026, this is filed as Trafficking: the report counts interception of consignments, and it does not describe a single operation. It could also be filed as a report.
Map pin
The report covers the whole country and names no wilaya for the cannabis, so no pin is placed.
