The drugs had been hidden inside packets of powdered instant juice in an effort to evade inspection, the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Interior Ministry did not specify the number of individuals arrested in connection with the latest operation but confirmed that investigations are ongoing to identify the network involved in manufacturing and trafficking the narcotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drug trafficking has grown increasingly common in government-held areas of Syria, particularly in regions where border control and economic conditions have deteriorated. Security sources note that the cross-border movement of narcotics poses a continuing threat to stability in several provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry\u2019s recent operations reflect what officials describe as an effort to \u201ccombat the spread of narcotic substances and pursue those responsible for their promotion and distribution.\u201d The seized materials have been transferred to relevant authorities for examination and legal procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Syrian Interior Ministry announced on Wednesday that its Anti-Narcotics Department in Deir ez-Zor had confiscated significant quantities of narcotic substances during raids on several houses in the city.
