Lebanon Seizes Captagon Pills Bound for SA
[AnNahar] Lebanese authorities seized Friday millions of Captagon pills in the port of Beirut, placed in two containers loaded with stones and prepared for smuggling to Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula.

It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.
