Al-Ain Al-Qudat reveals drug smuggling tactics
The Jordanian government has faced significant challenges in combating drug trafficking, as trafficking networks employ various methods, including trucks, cars, drones, and balloons to smuggle quantities of hashish and crystal into the country. Most smuggling operations occur across the northern borders and air crossings, although the amount of drugs trafficked through airports is smaller due to baggage restrictions. Jordan is considered a major transit point connecting drug-producing regions in the north and east to the Gulf states. These smuggling activities have social and health consequences, with around 10,000 people entering addiction annually. Recently, drugs have been linked to the commission of major crimes. Additionally, there are indications that occupying authorities may be somewhat lenient with drug trafficking in certain areas.
