DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – The Lebanese army announced on Monday the seizure of a significant quantity of captagon pills in the Hermel region, near the border with Syria.
In a statement, the army said that a military unit raided a captagon manufacturing facility located in the Harf al-Samaqa area of Hermel, on the Lebanese-Syrian border.
