The General Directorate of Internal Security Forces - Public Relations Division issued the following statement: "As part of the continuous monitoring carried out by the Internal Security Forces to pursue those involved in drug trafficking and promotion operations in various Lebanese areas and to arrest them, information was received by the Central Drug Control Office in the Judicial Police Unit about an individual named (A.H., born in 1992, Lebanese) selling hashish and e-cigarettes to minors he met while training them at a sports club in Beirut. Consequently, as a result of ongoing surveillance, the elements of this office managed to determine his place of residence and the locations he frequents. Accordingly, after a process of observation and tracking, one of the patrols from the Central Drug Control Office was able to arrest him in the Jalan Al-Jadid area. Upon searching his home and car, a quantity of hashish, e-cigarettes, and oils intended for them, an AK-47 rifle, and a military pistol were seized. During the investigation, he confessed to selling hashish to minors he was training at the club on two occasions, in addition to e-cigarettes and oils intended for them, misleading them that these oils contained narcotic substances. He was placed along with the seized items in the custody of the relevant authority for legal proceedings against him, based on the judiciary's directive."
