Smuggle drugs
The Israeli occupation is using drones and food aid to smuggle drugs into Gaza. On December 2, the Palestinian Tribal and Clan Council warned that the Israeli occupation was facilitating the smuggling of large quantities of narcotics into Gaza, a systematic attempt to target Palestinian youth while food, medicine, and essential aid remain blocked. The council said Israeli-backed militias were operating drug distribution networks from Rafah northward to fracture Gaza’s social fabric, calling the practice a national betrayal. Since then, these attempts have intensified, with increasing reports of drugs being smuggled by drones day and night and through aid trucks, as later investigations revealed narcotic pills, including Oxycodone, hidden inside flour bags from U.S.-dispatched aid earlier this year, reinforcing fears of a coordinated effort to destabilize Palestinian society under siege
