A regional Internal Security Forces unit got a tip that a man was dealing drugs from a motorcycle on the Jounieh-Maameltein road, according to the ISF's own press release. After surveillance a patrol stopped him with his wife on 28 July 2026.
Both are Lebanese. The release prints their birth year as 2007 and gives only initials, so they are not named here. Seized items included three bags of cannabis resin (hashish), an unidentified white powder and 14 packets of a white substance found at their home. They also had cash, two phones and a motorcycle. The suspects and items were handed to the competent police station on judicial instructions.
Why it matters: Hashish was one of several substances in this case, and the release does not identify the white powder. The account comes from the security force itself.
