Lebanon's General Directorate of Customs announced that its Land Anti-Smuggling Division in Beirut seized more than 3,500 cartons of smuggled cigarettes hidden inside a diesel tank built specifically as a hiding compartment, loaded on a pickup truck, after surveillance that extended from the Bekaa to Beirut. It said the tank appears from the outside to be intended for transporting fuel and has a rear opening used to insert the cigarettes, and that the violator was taken to the division's center to complete the investigation under the competent judiciary.
The coverage focuses on the same operation but differs in terminology and angle: some led with the video and the catchy headline (fuel oil outside, smoke inside), some focused on the operational details of the tank and its rear opening, and another on the referral of the violator and the judicial investigation.
