The Eastern Military Zone, in coordination with the Military Security Directorate and the Anti-Narcotics Department, on Friday at dawn foiled an attempt to smuggle large amounts of drugs coming from Syria to Jordan.
A source at the Jordan Armed Forces- Arab Army (JAF) said that rules of engagement were applied to the smugglers, leading to their escape.
Searching the area, security personnel found 259,120 Captagon pills and 287 palm-sized sheets of hashish, which were all referred to the relevant authorities, the JAF source added.
The source stressed that the army will apply “full force” to thwart any infiltration or smuggling attempts that may undermine the Kingdom’s security.
