"Hamas' Alleged Drug Use: Examining the Captagon Connection in Oct. 7 Attacks"

Israeli security officials have confirmed that the synthetic stimulant drug Captagon was found on some Hamas members who attacked Israel on October 7, killing over 1,400 people and kidnapping at least 220 more. Captagon, also known as the "jihadi drug" or "Poor Man's Cocaine," is a highly addictive amphetamine that has been used by Islamic State fighters in the past. The drug, which gives users superhuman powers and eliminates fear and hunger, may help explain the brutality of the attacks. Captagon is widely produced in Syria and is a multibillion-dollar black-market drug used throughout the Middle East.
