Hamas cracks down on Gaza drugs
Hamas authorities have been burning piles of narcotics and cannabis in a yearly sweep against drugs in the Gaza Strip.
Officers in military fatigues on Monday poured gasoline and set alight more than 1 million tablets of opioid painkiller tramadol, about 1,500 slabs of hashish and 900 grams of opium.
Last year, Hamas legislators endorsed the death penalty to curb drugs.
