En route to Jordan | Hez*bollah delivers large nar*cotic shipment to Al-Suwaidaa desert

Al-Suwaudaa province: SOHR sources have reported that smugglers working for the Lebanese Hezbollah have delivered a large shipment of captegon pills and hashish to Zalaf area in Al-Suwaidaa desert in order to transport it later to Jordan.

 

It is worth noting that the Lebanese Hezbollah depends on several Bedouins and smugglers to deliver narcotics to the Gulf states, where they use a route used for smuggling inside Syria passing through Daraa, Al-Suwaidaa and the 55 kilometre de-confliction zone.

 

On November 28, reliable sources informed SOHR that the bodies found by residents near Khirbet Awad village in southern Al-Suwaydaa countryside, near the Syrian-Jordanian border a day earlier, were of smugglers working for the Lebanese Hezbollah and the 4th Division. The smugglers were killed in clashes with Jordanian border guards on Friday night.

 

Armed clashes took place between the drug smugglers and Jordan border guards, as the drug smugglers attempted to bring a haul of “drugs” into Jordanian territory.

 

The Syrian Observatory activists had reported that the clashes left five deaths and seven injuries. The injured people were taken to Al-Suwaydaa hospital for treatment under the protection of Lebanese Hezbollah members.

 

It is worth noting that the death toll is believed to rise due to some sustained serious injuries, with two of the injured people coming into a coma.

 

According to SOHR sources, all the dead people are from Al-Ghayath tribe and work in the trade and promotion of “drugs” in Jordan, relying on their acquaintance of tribesmen in Jordan to smuggle “drugs.”
