A rare glimpse into the world of the narcotics and opioids market in Israel with Dr. Ronny Berkowitz, Director Division of Enforcement and Inspection, Ministry of Health.
It has been revealed that members of Hamas involved in the tragic events of October 7 were under the influence of stimulant drugs. Captagon, commonly referred to as the "poor man's cocaine", likely played a crucial role, allowing the individuals to maintain a composed and detached demeanor while remaining highly alert for extended periods, without succumbing to hunger during the commission of their acts.
Developed in 1960 for hyperactivity and depression treatment, Captagon is now a highly addictive drug with the potential for psychotic reactions. The United States banned it in 1981, and it was added to the World Health Organization's prohibited substances list in 1986.
Hear about Hamas's attempts to reduce their crimes by blaming their actions on drugs, and why this is inaccurate.
