Two residents from southern Israel have been indicted for operating an international drug smuggling ring that utilized a simple slingshot to transport narcotics across the border into Jordan. In exchange for the drugs, the smugglers received packages of cigarettes. The special investigation unit of the Northern District Police's criminal investigation department, YAMAR, uncovered the operation and brought charges against both individuals. The scheme, described as far from ingenious, involved significant risks for the smugglers, who now face charges for drug trafficking and for throwing items across the state border.
