Drug smuggling towards Jordan stopped
On Thursday, Syrian security authorities thwarted an attempt to smuggle nearly half a ton of hashish in the southeastern countryside of Sweida, heading towards Jordan. The Syrian Drug Control Agency, in coordination with the Internal Security Forces, carried out a complex security operation resulting in the seizure of the shipment, which belonged to outlawed groups operating in the area. These operations are part of a broad campaign launched by the Syrian government to combat drug trafficking and smuggling, especially of Captagon, which was once a significant source of funding for the previous regime. Despite the decline in the overall trade, trafficking networks remain active in the south and continue to face difficulties in being fully dismantled.
