Agadir police investigate foreign SUV driver for unauthorized beach entry

Ya Biladi5 days ago
The Agadir Police Department responded swiftly on Tuesday, July 22, after a photo began circulating on social media showing an SUV driving across the city's beach. The image, which drew widespread attention, raised safety concerns as users pointed out that the vehicle, bearing a foreign license plate, was seen navigating the sand near beachgoers.
According to a security source, police launched an investigation following the online posts and confirmed that the case is being handled by the precinct responsible for the Agadir area. Officers on patrol at the beach quickly intercepted the driver after he entered the sandy area, reportedly unaware of local regulations.
The foreign driver is now under judicial investigation, supervised by the relevant public prosecutor's office. Authorities aim to determine the full context of the incident, assess the driver's intentions, and identify any violations of Moroccan law.

Moroccan journalist Mohamed El Bakkali released by Israel after Gaza mission arrest

On Sunday, July 27, Israeli authorities released Moroccan journalist Mohamed El Bakkali, who serves as a correspondent for Al Jazeera. Prior to his release, El Bakkali agreed to a condition prohibiting him from joining any future humanitarian missions to Gaza. This stipulation extends to the other activists aboard the «Handala». The Moroccan journalist is scheduled to board a direct flight to Paris this Monday morning. To recap, on Saturday evening, Israeli naval forces intercepted the «Handala» in international waters of the Mediterranean, detaining its passengers, including Mohamed El Bakkali, and transporting them to Israel. Just hours before his arrest, El Bakkali recorded a video message appealing to Moroccan authorities for intervention should he be detained by the Israeli military. In Morocco, a coalition of political groups, spanning both left-wing and Islamist factions, demanded Mohamed El Bakkali's release as early as last night.

Moroccan authorities intercept 4 tons of cannabis at Tanger Med port

In the early hours of Sunday, officers from the National Security and Customs at the Tanger Med port successfully intercepted an attempt to smuggle 4.374 tons of cannabis resin hidden aboard an international freight truck. The coordinated efforts of the National Security and Customs services resulted in the confiscation of this large drug haul. The cannabis resin was cleverly concealed within a shipment of fruits carried by a trailer attached to a Moroccan-registered truck, en route to a European port, as reported by a security source from MAP. The truck driver, a 51-year-old Moroccan national, is now under judicial investigation as ordered by the competent prosecutor. The investigation aims to uncover the details surrounding this operation and to trace both the national and international networks involved in this criminal enterprise.

Moroccan MP urges protection for journalist Mohamed El Bakkali detained by Israeli authorities

Last night, Fatima Tamni, a member of the Federation of the Democratic Left (FDG), issued a written appeal to Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita, urging him to take action to «protect Moroccan citizen Mohamed El-Bakkali, who is currently detained by Israeli occupation forces». The parliamentarian highlighted the interception of the ship «Handala» by Israeli forces in international Mediterranean waters, describing it as a «dangerous and unprecedented incident». Yesterday evening, a Moroccan journalist working for Al Jazeera sounded the alarm about an impending Israeli assault on the humanitarian vessel «Handala». Back in June, the Israeli military had already intercepted a humanitarian ship destined for Gaza in international waters, which included French MEP Rima Hassan among its passengers. Yesterday, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) called for the protection of Mohamed El Bakkali and American cameraman Waad Mohamed Salim Al Taii, both onboard the «Handala».
