Palestinian police anti-narcotics officers in Gaza seized about 100 green banjo seedlings, a large quantity of dried banjo seedlings, and banjo seeds kept for planting.[1] The Al-Tuffah anti-narcotics unit made the seizure with the units for Al-Rimal and the beach, teams named for neighbourhoods of Gaza City and its coast.[1] They said the cannabis was in the possession of a man identified only by the initials A.D.[1]

Officers secured the seized quantity and referred the accused to the police investigation inspector to complete the legal procedures against him.[1] The figure of about 100 covers only the green seedlings; the dried seedlings are described as a large quantity, and the seeds only as a quantity held for cultivation.[1] No other person is named in the police account of the seizure.[1] The joint operation was the work of the Palestinian police anti-narcotics service, which said it had both living plants and material ready to grow more.[1]
