Security information reported the discovery of a shell inside the Saraya Tripoli building in northern Lebanon, prompting a security mobilization. It later emerged that the shell was an old mortar shell found during cleaning work by Tripoli municipality workers, with a security cordon imposed while awaiting the Lebanese Army's military expert.
The early reports focused on the security mobilization and the physical presence of a shell without specifying its type or the circumstances of discovery, while An-Nahar's report added details on the type of shell (an old mortar shell), the circumstances of the find and the subsequent measures.
