Gaza police list 14 hashish slabs in raids across three governorates
Gaza's anti-narcotics police said they seized 14 slabs of hashish, known locally as furush, alongside hundreds of cartons of Atramal pills in cases across Gaza, North and Rafah governorates. A police spokesman said well-known drug traders had been arrested over the past year, but the account names nobody and gives no weights or arrest count.

Anti-narcotics police in Gaza Governorate seized 10 slabs of hashish and 47
cartons of Atramal, the report says.[1]In the North Governorate area,
anti-narcotics police reported seizing two slabs of hashish among several
seizures, the report says.[1]In a separate Rafah case, anti-narcotics police
seized 46 cartons of Atramal pills in the house of a dealer, the report says.[1]
Gaza police spokesman Ayman al-Batniji said anti-narcotics police had arrested
well-known drug traders and seized large quantities of drugs and Atramal over
the past year.[1]Al-Batniji said intercepted drugs entering the Strip were
followed up and that more than one operation to promote them among young people
had been foiled.[1]
The article gives no date for the reported seizures; 9 November 2015 is its publication date and stands in for the incident date.
The seizures are described across several governorates and may not have happened on one day, so no single operation date is known.
No weight in kilograms is given for the 14 hashish slabs, so only the slab count is recorded.
The Atramal cartons and other narcotic pills are non-cannabis and are left out of the figures; only the hashish count is cannabis.
The North Governorate entry reports two hashish slabs to the North branch and 61 pill cartons across North and Rafah; the report does not say how the 61 cartons divide between the two governorates.
The police spokesman said well-known drug traders had been arrested over the past year but gave no number, so no arrested figure is recorded.
No charges, detention measures or court outcomes were reported.
Furush is the local unit for hashish slabs; no kilogram equivalent is stated, so none was estimated from the slab count.
Only this Al-Ray account could be opened; searches in Arabic and English found no independent report of this roundup.
The article says women from Rafah were caught trading Atramal with their children and released on bail after months in prison, but gives no date or case identifier.
The date line prints '09 تشرين ثاني / ديسمبر 2015', mixing November and December; November is used because the page is numbered among November 2015 posts.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in وكالة الرأي الفلسطينية: Al-Batniji said the occupation was directly responsible for drugs entering the Strip, which he said are smuggled through border tunnels.
Left out plants destroyed, as no supporting quotation was given.
