A drug called Captagon may have helped fuel Hamas' attack on Israel
|
[The Week] Officials from both the Israel Defense Forces and the United States government recently confirmed an earlier report that Hamas militants were high on a counterfeit stimulant known as Captagon when they carried out the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Also known as the "jihadi drug," "Captain Courage" and the "poor man’s cocaine," Captagon reportedly helped fuel a violent mania on that day. Are these accusations a critical tool of Hamas' plans or an attempt to paint the group as drug-crazed violent zombies?
WHAT IS CAPTAGON?
Captagon is the brand name of the drug fenethylline hydrochloride, initially created in the 1960s in West Germany to treat conditions like attention deficit disorder, depression and narcolepsy, Insider reported. The drug was eventually banned in the 1980s due to its "highly addictive nature," the outlet added, but a "clandestine trade" of counterfeit Captagon has flourished in the Middle East ever since. The drug remains extremely common in the region and has "particularly blossomed" in Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
