The Internal Security Forces (ISF) General Directorate carried out a raid on the apartment of a 34-year-old Syrian woman, N.R., in the Sahara Choueifat area, arresting her for drug trafficking and distribution.

In a statement, the ISF reported that information was received about unknown individuals storing drugs in an apartment in the Sahara Choueifat area and distributing them to dealers. “As part of their ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in various Lebanese regions, specialized units began field and intelligence procedures to identify and arrest the involved individuals,” the statement added.

Following investigations and inquiries, the Information Division identified the apartment used for drug storage and the identities of those involved, including N.R., born in 1990, of Syrian nationality.

On 11-06-2024, after precise surveillance and monitoring, one of the division's patrols raided the apartment in the Sahara Choueifat area and arrested N.R. inside. Upon searching her and the apartment, the following items were seized:

- 6 bags containing marijuana, weighing approximately 145 grams

- 6 envelopes containing hashish, weighing approximately 135 grams

- 15 plastic containers enclosing a white substance, each weighing approximately 3.5 grams


- 11 envelopes labeled "buzz extra," each weighing approximately 2.7 grams

- 31 envelopes labeled "net extra 0.5," each weighing approximately 2.9 grams

- 14 envelopes labeled "gram Ajnabi 0.5," each weighing approximately 2.6 grams

- 21 envelopes labeled "1 g net al-haj," each weighing approximately 3.5 grams

- An amount of cash and mobile phones

During interrogation, N.R. confessed to storing the drugs in the apartment with her husband, who is currently at large, and distributing them to dealers, according to the statement. Legal action was taken against her, and she, along with the seized items, was handed over to the competent authority based on the judiciary's indication. Efforts are ongoing to arrest the second involved individual.
