Palestinian anti-narcotics police in the Middle Governorate of Gaza searched a resident’s house after receiving information that hashish and Tramal pills were kept there.[1] Maj. Mahmoud al-Bayoumi, the Middle Governorate anti-narcotics chief, said his officers acted immediately after the tip about the home of a man identified only as (W. A.).[1] He said the force first obtained the necessary search warrants from the Public Prosecution before entering the home.[1]

Officers found four slabs of hashish during the search, the cannabis component on which this report focuses.[1] They also found 3,972 Tramal pills in the same house; those pills are not counted as cannabis.[1] The suspect was not present during the search, so no arrest was made at the house.[1] Police said the absent suspect is now wanted by the anti-narcotics force.[1] The force retained the seized drugs and referred the case to an investigations officer to complete the legal procedures.[1]

The report was datelined Gaza and published on 30 July 2015, which is used as the incident date because no separate raid date was given.[1]
