Prostitution Scandal on the Highway
The Internal Security Forces (ISF) have arrested four women in separate operations in the Jbeil and Keserwan districts on suspicion of soliciting clients for prostitution.
In a statement, the ISF said officers from the Anti-Human Trafficking and Morals Protection Bureau arrested three women on the Amchit-Jbeil highway on October 31, 2026. The suspects, identified by their initials as K.H. and A.A., both stateless, and F.A., a Lebanese national, were allegedly standing along the road to solicit clients for prostitution.
In a separate operation in the Maameltein area along the coastal road, a patrol from the same bureau arrested H.M., a Syrian national, on the same charge.
The four women admitted to the allegations during questioning and were referred to the competent judicial authorities in accordance with their instructions.
