Daraa raid seizes 200,000 Captagon pills; two suspects arrested

Daraa operation

Syria’s Drug Enforcement Administration carried out a major security sweep in the southern province of Daraa after prolonged surveillance of an international drug-smuggling ring that reportedly used the border area as a launch point. Authorities arrested two suspects and confiscated about 200,000 Captagon tablets, along with six balloons and related launching equipment used in cross-border trafficking.

Ongoing investigations and next steps

Preliminary inquiries indicate the network has wider connections and possible external links; investigators are working to identify remaining members and map the group’s structure. The Administration said the probe will continue until all links are established and those involved are referred to the competent judiciary to face legal proceedings, as reported by SANA
