Smuggling of Afghan hashish and hydro ventures
The article discusses the increasing escalation of drug smuggling operations across Jordan's borders. It highlights the use of advanced methods by traffickers, including drones and electronically guided balloons, with smuggling routes shifting from north to south and west. The report indicates a rise in drug trafficking activities in the southwestern region during 2025, with larger quantities of drugs seized, including Afghan hashish and heroin, and notes that smuggling operations are repeated to increase the volume being transferred. This phenomenon is linked to economic incentives such as price differentials, as well as security and strategic objectives. There are questions about the effectiveness of Israeli border measures, the role of criminal gangs in trafficking, and the importance of tracking illicit funding. The findings suggest that combating this issue requires strengthening technical and security capabilities, dismantling smuggling networks through proactive operations, and focusing on targeting the beneficiaries while analyzing shifts in routes and trafficking objectives.
