The army confiscated on Monday at least 400 kilograms of drugs in the eastern Bekaa region as part of raids against wanted suspects.

It said in a statement that 70 kgs of processed and 400 kgs of unprocessed cannabis were seized during raids on the Dar al-Wasia area in Baalbek.

A quantity of heroin and Captagon pills, equipment used to manufacture drugs, and a stolen Range Rover vehicle were also confiscated in the operation.

Meanwhile, the military arrested two Lebanese and four Syrians as part of its ongoing security plan in the Bekaa.

The suspects were arrested in the Brital, al-Safry, and Tall Abyad areas.

The army kicked off on Thursday a state-approved security plan in the Bekaa.

It is aimed at cracking down on a number of fugitives and gunmen. Dozens have so far been arrested.

A similar plan was executed in Beirut and the northern city of Tripoli in 2014.

Just because someone protects their group. Does not make it right or ok. Someone needs to step up and change this and lead from the front. There is a problem in the Shiite community with kidnapping for ransom, auto theft, and drug farmers/trafficking on their land.
