Hamas terrorists were under the influence of a stimulant drug called Captagon as they carried out their October 7 terrorist attack in Israel, it has been reported.<\/p>\n

Captagon is a synthetic amphetamine-type stimulant that has been illegally produced in southern Europe.<\/p>\n

It has reached the Middle East after being trafficked there through Turkey.<\/p>\n

The pills were found in the pockets of the terrorists who were killed on Israeli soil.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Known as “cocaine for the poor”, the drug will have made the terrorists calm as they carried out their horrendous attack in Israel.<\/p>\n

The drug became well-known in 2015 when it was discovered that ISIS soldiers were using it in their terror operations.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that Gaza has become a popular area for the drug.<\/p>\n

Medical professionals in Syria and Lebanon say the drug is also popular among civilians in warzones who are struggling to cope with their dire conditions.<\/p>\n

The New York Times reported in 2021 that the Captagon industry had been boosted by people with close links to Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, including some of his family members.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It has also been reported that Captagon exports from Syria alone reached a minimum of $3.5 billion in 2020.<\/p>\n

In Saudi Arabia, estimates suggest consumption of Captagon passes 600 million pills every year.<\/p>\n

Hamas killed 1,400 civilians and took 199 hostages from Israel.<\/p>\n

There were also reports of extreme violence, with militants murdering children, music festival goers and elderly citizens.<\/p>\n

A reported 4,100 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza, and Israeli forces are\u00a0reportedly planning a ground invasion into the enclave.<\/p>\n
