1.2M Captagon pills seized for Lebanon
The Lebanese Army reported the seizure of approximately 1.2 million Captagon pills that were intended for smuggling out of the country. This operation took place during security monitoring and pursuit efforts in the Serba - Kesrouwan area, northeast of Beirut. These efforts are part of the broader campaign to combat drug manufacturing and smuggling along the border with Syria, which extends for 330 kilometers. International pressure has been mounting to halt the export of Captagon, which has flooded markets across the Middle East over the past few years. Additionally, Syrian authorities, who took power at the end of 2024, announced similar efforts to crack down on the production and trafficking of Captagon. In September 2025, they seized 64 million pills, marking one of the largest busts in Lebanon's history. The international community is pressuring both Lebanon and Syria to fight the spread of drugs and to curb smuggling and manufacturing operations.
