Israeli police and Border Police forces operating in the Western Galilee region have seized a significant quantity of drugs, including approximately 1,000 Captagon pills and 8 kilograms of hashish, intended for distribution. The operation took place in the village of Yarka, where two local residents were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.

Captagon, an amphetamine known as the "drug of courage," has been previously used by terrorists from Hamas and ISIS. Official reports indicate that the drug was also used by the Nukhba forces who carried out the October 7th massacre.

During the raid on a compound in Yarka, authorities also confiscated communication devices and a digital recording system believed to have been used for surveillance and criminal investigations. The two suspects were taken for further questioning by the Western Galilee police station. The seized Captagon pills were reportedly used by Hamas and ISIS terrorists.
