    Hezbollah issues statement responding to Al Arabiya's 'Captagon' lies

Today, Thursday, Hezbollah's media bureau issued a statement condemning a piece of news broadcast on the Al Arabiya news online, a few days ago.

The statement read: "Al Arabiya TV, which is affiliated with the Saudi regime, has been fabricating lies, making false accusations, and smearing Hezbollah's image with the trafficking and promotion of drugs, with the aim of offending the party and defaming the resistance movements and smearing them in front of public opinion."

The statement pointed out that this serves the Israeli enemy and the humiliating normalization projects with it, and that the narrative actually sweeps the irrefutable facts of the involvement of senior Saudi princes and officials in the drug trade and Captagon pills under the carpet: Beirut International Airport, in one of its most brazen incidents, has witnessed the arrest of a Saudi prince in flagrante delicto.

Furthermore, the statement read: "Al Arabiya's constant attempts to divert attention away from the drug epidemic within Saudi society - its trafficking and usage - by linking them to others and fabricating accusations against them will not solve its growing problem inside Saudi Arabia.

"It would have been more appropriate for [Riyadh] and its authorities to work hard in combating this deadly epidemic in practice, media, education, and religion, and in reducing security and social risks."

Last Sunday, the Al Arabiya TV website published a story in which it claimed that "A Hezbollah member was killed, on the Syrian-Jordanian border, in a special operation by the Jordanian army that led to the killing of 4 drug smugglers."
