The entire quantity was destroyed in the presence of international coalition commanders based at the Al-Tanf base and commanders from armed factions supported by coalition forces.
This shipment is the third of its kind for drug traffickers, within the framework of Syria’s desire to confront the smuggling of these harmful substances, and the beating with an iron hand of anyone who deals with these substances or trades them.
