Lebanese security forces ne Friday ko Baalbek ke paas ek kadi military operation chalaya, jisme total 3 log pakde gaye hain. Inme sabse bada naam Suleiman Hilal al-Assad ka hai, jo Syria ke former President Bashar al-Assad ke cousin lagte hain. Inke saath Ali Zeiter ko bhi arrest kiya gaya hai, jo ki kaafi famous drug trafficker Nouh Zeiter ke bete hain.
Raid mein kya mila?
Authorities ne bataya ki inke paas se illegal firearms aur badi matra mein narcotics (hashish) mili hai. Ab in sabhi ko Lebanon ki Defense Ministry le jaya gaya hai jahan in par sakht interrogation chal raha hai.
Border aur security ka tension
December 2024 mein Syria mein Assad regime ke collapse ke baad se hi Lebanon par kaafi pressure hai. Former regime ke loyalists border cross kar ke Lebanon mein aa rahe hain, jo Beirut ke liye ek major security challenge ban gaya hai. Bekaa Valley mein chal rahe criminal networks par ye raid ek badi warning hai ki Lebanese military ab poori tarah strict mode mein hai.
