Syrian customs authorities have seized 226 RGC-type grenades that were allegedly hidden inside a vehicle traveling toward Lebanon, according to reports that cited an official Syrian statement.
The seizure was reported on Tuesday and was linked to a customs inspection involving a vehicle bound for Lebanon. Officials said the grenades were concealed inside the vehicle, pointing to an apparent attempt to move munitions across the border without detection.
The case highlights continued security concerns around cross-border trafficking routes between Syria and Lebanon. Weapons seizures by customs and border agencies are closely watched because they can signal wider smuggling activity in the region.
The available report did not provide further details on the driver, any arrests, or the exact method used to hide the grenades. It also did not say whether the seizure is connected to a broader investigation.
