Using new and unconventional methods, drug dealers in the Gaza Strip are becoming more active in bringing narcotics of all kinds and forms into the coastal enclave by smuggling them inside medical ointments, shoes, clothes, fruit, fish, potato chip bags and other goods, which makes their discovery by security forces difficult.
Smugglers have always used innovative and new methods to smuggle drugs into the Gaza Strip. In 2017, 321 hashish packs were seized by Gazan authorities in Rafah after they were found in containers packed with Nile tilapia fish coming from Egypt.
