Issued by the General Directorate of Internal Security - Public Relations Section:

"On 07-08-2026, unknown individuals in a black-colored 'BMW' vehicle abducted a girl (born in 2007, Palestinian) from her workplace in the Al-Hilaliya district of Sidon, then fled toward an unknown location. Social media platforms circulated a video showing the abduction, triggering widespread fear in the area. Her father (born in 1978, Palestinian) filed a complaint against an unknown person for kidnapping his daughter.

Immediately, the specialized units of the Information Branch launched field and investigative procedures to uncover the circumstances of the abduction and identify those involved. Following thorough inquiries and investigations, they quickly identified the perpetrators as:

– M. S. (born in 2006, Lebanese)

– E. E. (born in 2003, Syrian).

On the same date, after meticulous surveillance and monitoring, patrol units of the branch apprehended the two suspects simultaneously in the districts of Al-Hilaliya and Mjadelion within less than 24 hours. One of the patrols located the kidnapped girl in the Sidon area after the perpetrators released her.

Upon interrogation, the first suspect confessed to his involvement in the abduction alongside the second, stating that the girl refused to enter into a relationship with him, so he transported her to a house in the town of Anzar, then released her and returned her to Sidon after news of the abduction spread and internal security forces mobilized. The second suspect also confessed to the charges brought against him.

Legal proceedings were carried out against them, and they were handed over to the competent judicial authority as per the referral from the relevant prosecutor."
